第二轮志书风俗志编纂刍议

了解地情必从风俗开始。第一轮志书对风俗多有记载,第二轮修志有的不入志,有的尽管记有风俗的内容,但异议者不少。文章从正名、辨体、创新等方面阐述了对风俗志编纂的看法,以期提高风俗志的编纂质量。一是正名。针对风俗内容不同志书篇目名称不一致的现状,认为还是定名风俗或风俗志比较好,这既符合方志的传统,包容性也比较大,又可以与民俗学中的民俗志有所区别。二是辨体。此处辨体主要讨论两个问题:1.风俗志的体例内涵。篇目设计上应独立成志,不要放在某个门类下;记述方式既不能混淆古今风俗,又要理清风俗发展的变化脉络,要注意利用阶段性的、转折性的材料,把风俗事项的变化写好,以体现风俗在传承基础上的变异性与时代性。2.省市县风俗志的差异化。三是创新。针对目前风俗资料比较分散的实际,认为地方志办公室可以把风俗志编写作为一个课题,委托高校的专家学者撰写。并针对风俗文本资料少的现状,指出进行田野调查和口述历史是必不可少的。地方志办公室可以和相关部门合作,进行田野调查,以便更好地收集资料。同时还要重视风俗展现的景观化,不断提高风俗志的可读性。
