鱼鳞册是明清土地管理的地籍清册,遗留至今的数量很少,在南方少数民族地区的遗存尤为罕见。贵州清水江下游天柱县新发现的贵州清水江侗族鱼鳞册共4册,较为完整的记录了一个侗族村落在清代晚期的土地占有关系,具有鲜明的地域特色与民族特色,如以“褊”“籽”为田地产量和面积的计量单位,丰富、生动而形象的田块形状描述词汇等,是研究侗族社会经济结构和赋税制度的重要史料。与徽州鱼鳞图册相比,侗族鱼鳞册在形式上较为简化,但在明晰土地产权、保证赋税征收方面,其功能与徽州鱼鳞图册是相同的。
Yulince is a kind of records with a cadastral list of land management in the Ming and Qing dynasty. Only very few of its kind have survived, especially rare in in the minority area of south China. In August 2013, a research team from Kaili University found four copies of Yulince in Tianzhu County in the lower reaches of the Qingshui River in Guizhou Province. This set of four copies of Yulince is a fairly complete record of the land ownership of a Dong village in the late Qing dynasty and has typical local and ethnic features with its own terms of measuring units. Compared with Huizhou Yulince, it is simpler in format but almost the same in other contents like land ownership and taxation.
