本文在对清代家礼书总体估量的基础上,梳理了清代繁多家礼书的三类主要构成,即前朝刊本、清朝官修家礼书和清人私修家礼书。由此发现清代家礼一方面继承宋、明以来的家礼传统,面对相似的社会环境,担当相似的社会功能,秉承相似的编纂原则;另一方面,清代家礼因其统治民族的满洲族性和清代平民宗族发展等社会新情势,在具体仪节和家礼结构等方面都有一些新变化。与前朝相比,清代家礼无疑更加丰富多彩,而不是湮没消隐。
This paper gives an overall estimation on books covering family rituals in the Qing dynasty,and divides these books into three main categories: books printed in former dynasties; works officiallycompiled in Qing dynasty and works privately-compiled. The paper finds that on the one hand,family rituals in the Qing dynasty followed the tradition in the Song and the Ming dynasties,functioned similarly when facing similar social environment,and stuck to more or less the same compilation principles. On the other hand,some changes occurred in specific rites and ritual structures due to the ethnicity of the ruling Manchu group and social changes like the flourishing of commoner clans. Compared with former dynasties,instead of fading away,family rituals in Qing were richer and more prosperous.
