日本的地方史志编纂有着悠久的传统。尽管日本学界有关地方史志编纂理论与方法的论著较为少见,但在对地方史的认识、地方史志编纂的目的或动机、编纂的组织机构及人员组成、资料收集整理的方法、史志书的体裁与规模以及对史志书功能的认识等方面,可以给我国新方志的编纂提供启发与借鉴。 Japan’s local history has a long tradition of compiling. Although there are only a few scholars in Japanese academia about the theories and methods of local history compilation, their understanding of local history, the purpose or motivation of local history compilation, the organization and composition of compilation, the method of data collection and compilation, the style of Shi Zhi Shu And the scale and the function of the history of the book, etc., can give our new compilation of local records to provide inspiration and reference.
