The purpose and genre of collating are different, and the number of collating and the writing of collating notes are also different. But generally speaking, the following principles should be followed: ① Any change of any word in the original version, including typo, out of context, out of context, inverted text, etc. , will be proofread; (2) Although the original text is not changed, if the proofreading variant has reference value, if its meaning is two-way, or there are many differences, it should also be proofread. (3) Where the books or things cited by the author are wrong, although the original text cannot be changed, proofreading instructions should be made to explain their mistakes. (4) All authors who avoid their own names or family secrets will remain unchanged, but those who affect their understanding of the meaning of the text should be noted in proofreading. ⑤ Variant characters, generic characters, ancient and modern characters, and common characters between books are generally not published. ⑥ According to the proofreading purpose of books and different readers, the proofreading of general popular works is concise and to the point, and the proofreading of research works is extensive and in-depth.
The writing of collating notes is not a simple over-recording job. First of all, we must go out of school. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and summarize the collation results, eliminate the doubts and errors in different languages, so as to determine which doubts and errors in different languages must be paid attention to, properly evaluate the quality and value of doubts and errors in different languages, and get rid of their essence and dross, so as not to be exhaustive and cumbersome. All foreign languages have their own versions or are published in other books. It is customary to measure the quality of different languages, mostly depending on whether the version is an ancient rare book or a famous school-based one. Secondly, we should deal with proofreading style. In writing, proofreading should be concise, accurate and concise. Therefore, when writing proofreading notes, we should pay attention to the following points:
(1) The article should not be too long. Generally, only words or sentences that need to be collated are mentioned. For example, "School-based Editing Style, Copying Norms and Punctuation Notes of Ancient Chinese Medicine Collation Points" says: Words and sentences prompted by collation and exegetics are not quoted. Collation notes only indicate the number of words related to collation, and do not need to indicate sentences. Leave a space below or after the prompt sentence, write a note or proofread it. The prompt statement is too long, and it can be abridged in the middle. (2) Proofreaders should indicate their names according to their editions or titles, and abbreviations should be used for longer titles, and volume numbers or document numbers should be used for longer titles. For example, the five internal organs, the size and the six hospitals have to wait for five, which can be recorded as the fifth volume of A&B.3 When writing, attention should be paid to concise and accurate words. Most of them are written in simple classical Chinese, the language is as standardized as possible, and collating terms are used.
A complete proofreading should include three parts: proofreading, authentication and judgment. The so-called proofreading refers to different texts or doubts obtained by comparison with various proofreading methods; The so-called proof refers to the proofreader's analysis and demonstration of different texts and doubts; The so-called judgment refers to the proofreader's judgment of right and wrong For example, "Notes on Acupuncture Classics A and B", Volume II, First: Lei Gong asked: The words of forbidding pulse, those whose acupuncture principle starts from meridians, would like to hear its way. Note: forbidden pulse, forbidden original pulse, the same spirit pivot. Both the manuscript and Tai Su are forbidden. The first note of the seventh volume of the analogy classic:' Pulse, as a service. This is the forbidden text in this passage. "Mausoleum":' The forbidden pulse is the forbidden service. Article 48 of the Classic says: The principle of acupuncture is: the meridians are the beginning, the movement stops, the five internal organs are pricked, and the six internal organs are pricked. Then the number of words in this article is forbidden. "According to the above situation, this should be regarded as a ban. The ban is also an ancient medical book. " Lingshu was not quoted in one place, so it was changed. The thesis of this school includes three parts: proofreading, authentication and evaluation. However, in the actual writing process, the content of proofreading can be different according to the purpose of proofreading books and readers, and it is not necessary to understand all three. Generally speaking, proofreading for ordinary readers should be brief and textual research should be less; The proofreading notes of scientific researchers should be detailed and clear, and there should be more textual research.
