Abstract

This paper is a translation and annotation of Chibeioutan(池北偶談) by Wang Shizhen(王士禛), an official, scholar and literary man in the early Qing Dynasty. Chibeioutan(池北偶談) is one of the representative works of ‘Biji(筆記)’ in Qing Period, and its contents cover various fields such as literature, scholarship, history, institutions, and customs. The entire volume of Chibeioutan consists of 26 books and 1,292 articles, which are composed of “Tangu(談故)”, “Tanxian(談獻)”, “Tanyi(談藝)”, and “Tanyi(談異)”. This paper is the sixth of a series of papers. In this part, a total of 11 works, ranging from 57 to 67 pieces of “Tangu(談故) 1”, the last pieces of “Tangu 1”, were targeted for translation. In addition, the entire contents were briefly summarized while finishing “Tangu 1”, and the results and academic meaning of this study were examined. The main contents of “Tangu 1” consisting of 67 items can be divided into various topics such as personnel affairs, imperial examination systems, government posts, emperor-related cases, social systems, diplomacy, rituals among others. In particular, “Tangu 1” recorded many social systems as well as special and exceptional cases that show changes in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In the future, we intend to continue this study to share the necessary research achievements with relevant researchers and contribute to the revitalization of subsequent studies.
