Bibliological study on Jia li tie shi ji chen

日治時期，臺灣慣行之禮儀大多依朱子《家禮》及陳氏《家禮》，而陳氏《家禮》，即陳鳴盛《家禮帖式集成》一書。前賢為耳目所囿，謂翁仕朝傳抄本最為詳備，並根據「咸豐七年右文堂版」《家禮帖式集成》張泰開所撰〈序〉文，提出《家禮帖式》成於未第老儒成履中之手，陳鳴盛就《家禮帖式》擴大規模而成之說；然再三咀嚼「咸豐七年右文堂版」《家禮帖式集成》張泰開所撰〈序〉文，發現〈序〉文所透露之訊息，恐有待斟酌。《家禮帖式集成》公藏現今得見之完本有：咸豐七年右文堂藏板、咸豐十年萃芳樓藏板、咸豐十年維經堂藏板、翰寶樓藏板、近文堂藏板；香港公共圖書館翁仕朝藏本與香港中文大學藏本則為殘卷。前賢拘於所聞，謂翁仕朝藏本為抄本，且為咸豐七年右文堂刊本；殊不知翁氏藏本僅存下冊刻本，無從得知鐫版時間及書坊名稱，何來「手抄本」、「咸豐七年右文堂刊本」之說？右文堂本前有二序，餘書則僅有一序；分就板式、書目著錄、書序內容觀之；張泰開所書之序，絕非《家禮帖式》之序，當係成履中《五經類聯》書序，書坊裝訂之際誤置。《家禮帖式》既非成履中所撰，則何來陳鳴盛就其書擴大其規模之說？就書中引述之人、事，嘗試辨別作者時代，恐係乾隆年間至道光年間之儒生所為，雖嘉慶年間桑園圍之生員陳鳴盛、海康縣之增貢陳鳴盛均頗為疑似，然文獻徵信闕疑，唯有待疑存之，俟諸他日。During Japanese colonial period, Zu Xi's Jia li and Chen Mingsheng's Jia li tie shi ji chen were the most popular guidance books of rituals followed by Taiwanese. According to Cheng Kaitai's preface of Yowentag edition published in Xianfeng 7th year, the original author of Jia li tie shi was Cheng Richung, an old scholar who could not pass the imperial examination. Chen Mingsheng expanded the content and revised it as Jia li tie shi ji chen. However, the information revealed in the preface was a mistake. Several complete editions were found such as Yowentag edition in Xianfeng 7th year, Tsuifaglou edition in Xianfeng 10th year, Weijingtang edition in Xianfeng 10th year, Hanbaolou edition, Jinwentang edition. Wongshichao's collection at Hong Kong Public Libraries and collection at The Chinese University of Hong Kong Library are fragments. Researchers erroneously informed that Wongshichao's collection was a manuscript and published by Yowentang in Xianfeng 7th year. In fact, Wongshichao's collection was block-printed and only second half left, so there is no information about publication time and publisher. There are two prefaces in Yowentang edition and only one in other editions. After analyzing the context, it is obviously that Cheng Kaitai's preface was written for Cheng Richung's Wu jing lei lien instead of Jia li tie shi. The mistake was made by the bookstore while binding the book. Upon reviewing the people and events in the book, it is concluded that Jia li tie shi ji chen was written by a scholar in the year between Chien Lung and Dao Guang
