Ruan Yuan, 1764-1849: The Life and Work of a Major Scholar-Official in Nineteenth-Century China before the Opium War

BIBLIOGRAPHIES

BIBLIOGRAPHIES Bibliography I 343 Bibliography I: Archival Sources The Qing archives are a unique source for historical research. Today, the extant archives, comprising nine million documents, are in the First Historical Archives in Beijing, the National Palace Museum and the Academia Sinica in Taipei. Unless otherwise noted, all of the documents used in this book are at the Museum. Palace Memorials (Gongzhong Dang 宮中檔, GZD) In the Museum Collection of some 32,428 original memorials, about four hundred are from Ruan Yuan. Seven are from the Daoguang era, the rest from the Jiaqing reign: years 4–7 (1799–1802), 13–14 (1808–9), and 19–20 (1815–6). They constitute only a small percentage of Ruan Yuan’s correspondence with the throne. Fortunately, a number of the missing memorials can be found in Qingdai Waijiao Shiliao (清代外交史料) (Materials on foreign relations during the Qing dynasty), Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns. Additionally, Ruan Yuan had included memorials in his private records, Yingzhou Bitan (瀛舟筆談), Yangcheng Biji (洋程 筆記), and Leitang Anzhu Diziji (雷塘庵主弟子記) (see Appendix IV). Catalogue numbers of Ruan Yuan’s Memorials are as follows: The Jiaqing reign: GZD-JQ 001371 008300 009523 011168 012249 013127 014110 015038 002523 008375 009524 011169 012250 013128 014151 015039 003353 008380 009525 011170 012252 013129 014152 015040 004365 008381 009655 011171 012366 013130 014153 015041 004685 008382 009656 011232 012388 013145 014235 015117-1 004765 008383 009657 011271 012389 013326 014236 015118 004948 008460 009658 011272 012390 013127 014237 015119 005020 008461 009718 011273 012391 013128 014450 015166 344 Bibliography I 005198 008462 009719 011332 012466 013129 014451 015167 005339 008566 009793 011333 012467 013130 014452 015168 005586 008567 009794 011347 012468 013145 014501 015173 005777 008741 009795 011500 012505 013326 014502 015319 005778 008742 009802 011510 012506 013327 014520 015320 006065 008743 009871 011527 012507 013328 014521 016205 006066 008744 009872 011534 012619 013329 014522 016259 007325 008946 009873 011535 012620 013330 014525 016260 007512 008947 009944 011536 012621 013331 014595 016380 007513 008948 010055 011537 012638 013433 014596 016381 007580 008949 010101 011597 012639 013434 014629 016382 007581 008950 010150 011598 012640 013566 014630 016557 007582 008956 010344 011731 012641 013567 014631 016558 007623 008957 010345 011744 012642 013568 014636 016669 007624 009154 010539 011795 012643 013569 014637 016670 007806 009155 010540 011796 012644 013570 014638 016720 007807 009156 010541 011802 012760 013528 014647 016721 007884 009157 010542 011803 012761 013629 014670 016722 007885 009265 010722 011946 012871 013630 014700 016831 007886 009266 010723 011947 012872 013631 014771 016838 007887 009267 010724 011995 012879 013764 014817 016839 007919 009340 010791 011996 012880 013765 014818 016923 008065 009341 010792 012070 012881 013778 014819 016924 008108 009342 010793 012089 012956 013920 014820 016925 008109 009346 011004 012090 012976 013921 014821 016926 008110 009486 011005 012091 012977 013922 014850 016927 008202 009487 011038 012145 012978 013923 014851 016991 008203 009500 011039 012147 013013 014097 015009-1 016991-1 008298 009521 011040 012247 013014 014098 015010 016992 008299 009522 011167 012248 013126 014099 015011 017069 017356 017819 018043 018297 018605 018921 019034 019411 017484 017820 018044 018298 018721 018922 019299 019515 017485 017821 018048 018299 018722 018926 019300 019516 017518 017846 018049 018446 018723 018986 019311 019517 017520 017849 018066 018447 018873 018987 019312 019638 017521 017851 018153 018448 018874 018988 019315 019639 017522 017875 018154 018449 018875 019000 019314 019640 017628 017876 018155 018450 018876 019008 019409 017818 018042 018158 018604 018920 019033 019410 Bibliography I 345 The Daoguang reign: GZD-DG 000013 000049 000102 000131 000215 000222 000452 Grand Council Copies of Palace Memorials (Junjichu Zouce Lufu 軍機處奏冊錄副 JJLF) Grand Council copies of memorials, all from the Daoguang reign, are as follows: 049434 049543 050632 050860 051514 056043 057187 057480 049435 049544 050633 051217 055471 056044 057188 049436 049587 050634 051441 055472 056047 057189 049437 049678 050636 051442 055473 056077 057190 049438 049679 050851 051443 055727 056247 057191 049540 049688 050857 051445 055728 056798 057192 049541 049690 050858 051446 055729 056918 057478 049542 050623 050859 051513 056042 056919 057479 Grand Council Record Books Records of the Grand Council are bound.
