略論《大明太祖皇帝御製集》及其史料價值.

The collected works by the Ming founding emperor is a magnet for historians' attention, as they are important primary sources to understand Ming Taizu and his times, especially when almost all other records of his rule had been banned or destroyed by his descendants. Apart from several editions of the Ming Taizu yuzhi wenji, there is an overlooked collection entitled Da Ming Taizu huangdi yuzhiji that contains unexplored materials not found in all other sources. This paper examines the Yuzhiji by comparing it with different editions of the Yuzhi wenji regarding three aspects, namely, its wider range of works collected, those edicts collected in the form of original vernacular language, and those essays exclusively collected in the Yuzhiji. It aims at showing the importance of reexamining the Yuzhiji so as to discover hidden facts of the Hongwu era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
