略论隋唐五代版本学的发展及其观念

版本学及其观念在隋唐五代有较大发展:隋朝开始重视图书的收集与整理,在古籍整理与版本复制方面卓有成效,尽管其时未出现相关的理论表述,但其时版本复制及有关处理方法,对唐代及后世均有一定的影响,尤其是在官修本上,影响更为明显。唐代图书版本形态虽仍以写本为主,却又出现了雕版印书。这一时期的书本用纸与装帧也表现出新的发展迹象:隋代在版本装帧上产生了分品装帧收藏方法;唐代出现了旋风装、经折装、连脊装等比较先进的装帧式样;用纸方面唐代则出现了少量的皮纸写本。晚唐五代作为中国古代版本学又一重要发展时期,在版本学史上的影响主要表现为:监本《九经》的刻印和家本《九经》的刻印,以及诸如毋昭裔家刻诸史、贯休自刻文集等其他刻本,表明其时不但刻本范围有所扩大,且刻书机构也日臻完善。这些都为中国古代版本学的确立准备了物质条件,亦对后来中国印刷史及版本学史均有较大影响。

The Idea of Editions and the Development of Bibliology in the Sui, the Tang and the Five Dynasties

Bibliology and the idea of editions greatly developed during the Sui, the Tang and the Five Dynasties. In the Sui Dynasty (581 - 618), people began to give attention to the collection and cataloging of books and achieved a lot in the reproduction of books. In the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), the method of block printing was adopted in the production of books; new kinds of paper and novel styles of book binding also emerged. In the Five Dynasties (907 - 960), more books were block-printed, including the most importam Confucian classics. The development during the period prepared the way for the establishment of bibliology in ancient China, and influenced the development of printing thereafter.
