This book was written by Gu Yanwu (1613-82), a scholar from the late Ming to the early Qing dynasties of China. It is a compilation of useful articles on politics and economics, extracted from geography books across the country and organized by region. The word "ri-dong" means "benefit" and "harm," and the purpose of the book is to shed light on the actual state of local politics in the Ming dynasty from both the benefit and harm perspectives, for future reference. It is merely a collection of data, and was conveyed in unfinished manuscript form without being organized or edited by the author. After the author's death, it was organized into 120 volumes, and a woodblock-type edition was also produced, but a reliable text must be based on a photographic reproduction of the original. The value of this book lies in the fact that it quotes many social and economic documents from geography books from the Ming dynasty that are not seen today.

中国の明(みん)末から清(しん)初の学者である顧炎武(こえんぶ)(1613―82)の著書。全国の地志のなかから、政治、経済に有益な記事を抜き書きして地方別に集録したもの。利病とは益と害の意味で、明代の地方政治の実状を益と害の両面から明らかにして、将来の参考にしようというのが目的である。単なる資料集にすぎず、著者の整理、編集を経ない未定稿で伝えられた。著者の死後、120巻に整理され、木活字本もつくられたが、信用のおけるテキストは原稿を写真複製したものによらねばならない。本書の価値は、今日ではみられない明代の地志から、多くの社会・経済資料が引用されている点にある。 [日比野丈夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
