本文通过对传世文献、敦煌遗书的重新梳理,从王朝地理资料搜集的角度,对唐代以前图经的性质及其变化提出了新的看法。认为目前的资料尚不足以推测汉隋之间图经的体例等问题,大体上仍属于王朝疆域地理资料搜集的一种手段。至于唐代,当地图造送制度正常运行的时候,亦可能要求随例造送文字性质的图经,两者属于不同形式的地理公牍,地图为正,图经为附属。图经之循例或不一定如闰年图那样固定。随着制度运行的涣漫,文字形式的图经因编造的技术性低,往往循例抄录即可,成为塞责之手段。但为解决地理地形问题,或将已绘之小幅地图附上,即成后世所谓先图后文的形式。 This article puts forward a new view on the nature and the changes of the map before the Tang Dynasty from the angle of the collection of the dynastic geography data through the re-sorting of the handed down documents and the suicide notes in Dunhuang. In the opinion of the author, the current data are not enough to speculate on the way of the map classics between the Han and Sui Dynasty. In general, they still belong to a means of collecting the geographic data of the territory of the Kingdom of Dynasty. As for the Tang Dynasty, when the system for the delivery of maps was in normal operation, it may also require that maps of script characters be sent along with them, both of which belong to different forms of geography. The maps are positive and the maps are attached. Circulation of the chart may not be as fixed as a leap year chart. With the laxity of the system operation, the text form of the text due to the preparation of low-tech, often copying records can be routine, as plug means. However, in order to solve the problem of geographical topography or to attach a small map already painted, it will be in the form of the afterword of the so-called first image in the future.
