作为记载北宋九朝史实的编年体巨著，李焘纂修的《续资治通鉴长编》是宋史研究最重要、最基础的史籍之一，其纂修既是历经靖康劫难而留存于南宋前期的北宋文献的一次大汇总，其流传又关涉到南宋删节改编、明初《永乐大典》编纂和清代四库辑佚等一系列重要的文献学问题。研究《长编》的纂修和流传，在宋史和历史文献学领域都具有十分重要的学术价值。 在纂修方面，本文厘清了《长编》纂修三阶段在断限、命名、内容等方面的关键变化，系统建立起区分泸州、遂宁二本的判据，确定《长编纪事本末》所据者为泸州本，大典本和宋刻节本属遂宁本；归纳了《长编》纂修的整体纲领和具体条例，指出《长编》以实录为底本径行编纂，与司马光等修《资治通鉴》长编先经丛目阶段不同，且因一手文献尚存，例不引录李焘自己所编之书；最后总结了李焘获得文献的来源和时间，复原出《长编》所引重要文献的叠压层次及层累纂修的动态过程。此外，本文还补辑了李焘生平交游资料和《长编》佚文，考证了部分北宋文献的流传及版本。 在流传方面，本文揭示出《长编》在南宋续修和重订的情况，总结了传世宋代节本的删节特点，确定宋本翻刻自宋撮要本，并勾勒出宋元两系流传的整体面貌，指出嘉泰禁私史以后徽钦两朝罕传以至散亡的事实。对于明清时期的传世诸本，本文构建起整体的源流谱系，廓清了重要的文本问题：通过揭示《大典》“重出—避重”并行的编纂体例，以及由此导致的编年体史书“损后益前”的文本特征，解释了大典本附益他书的原因；厘清了四库本掺杂节本的成因和卷次；梳理出四库底本以降各本的版本源流，确定存世四库底本乃南三阁本的底本，活字本并非出自文澜阁本，而是另有来源。 本文的研究成果不仅可以为《长编》的整理和辑佚提供坚实的版本支撑，也将有力地推动宋史文献、《大典》学、四库学等领域的研究。本文在大规模复本比勘时运用的“末字比较法”，以及对专书采用整体文献观照的研究策略，也可以为其他历史文献的研究提供方法论层面的参考示范。
As a monumental chronicle documenting the history of the nine reigns of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Zizhi Tongjian Changbian （續資治通鑑長編） compiled by Li Tao （李燾） stands as one of the most crucial and foundational historical sources for Song Dynasty studies. Its compilation represents a comprehensive aggregation of Northern Song literature preserved through the Jingkang （靖康） disaster and transmitted to the early Southern Song period, while its dissemination touches upon a series of critical bibliographical issues such as the abridgment and revision during the Southern Song, the compilation of Yongle Dadian （永樂大典） in the early Ming Dynasty, and the collection of scattered writings in Siku Quanshu （四庫全書） during the Qing Dynasty. Investigating the compilation and dissemination of Changbian holds substantial academic significance in both Song Dynasty history and historical bibliographical studies. In terms of compilation, this paper clarifies the key changes in the Changbian‘s compilation across its three stages concerning its chronological scope, naming, and content. It systematically establishes criteria for distinguishing between the Luzhou （瀘州） and Suining （遂寧） editions, determining that the Changbian Jishi Benmo （長編紀事本末） was based on the former edition, while the Dadian edition and the Song Dynasty abridged edition belong to the latter edition. It summarizes the overall framework and specific guidelines for the compilation of Changbian, pointing out that Changbian was directly compiled using imperial records as its base text, differing from the process of first compiling a preliminary index stage in Sima Guang（司馬光）‘s compilation of the Zizhi Tongjian （資治通鑑） long draft. Moreover, since primary sources were still available, Li Tao generally refrained from citing his own compiled works. Finally, it summarizes the sources and timelines of the literature Li Tao accessed, reconstructing the iterative layers of important cited sources in Changbian and the dynamic process of its compilation. Additionally, this paper supplements biographical materials on Li Tao‘s social interactions, as well as lost texts of Changbian, and verifies the dissemination and editions of certain Northern Song Dynasty literature. Regarding its transmission, this paper reveals the circumstances of the Changbian‘s continued compilation and revision in the Southern Song Dynasty, summarizes the abridgment characteristics of the surviving Song Dynasty abridged editions, and determines that the Song edition was reprinted from the Song Cuoyao （撮要） edition. It also outlines the overall transmission landscape of the Song and Yuan Dynasty lineages, pointing out the fact that after the ban on private histories during the Jiatai （嘉泰） era, there were few transmissions of Changbian during the reigns of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, leading to their eventual loss. For the surviving Changbian editions from Ming and Qing Dynasties, this paper constructs an overall genealogical lineage and clarifies their significant textual issues. By revealing the Dadian‘s parallel compilation style of ＂duplication-avoidance＂ and the resulting textual feature of ＂loss in later sources, gain in earlier ones＂ in chronological histories, it explains the reason for supplementary content from other books in the Dadian edition. This paper also clarifies the cause and volumes arrangement of the hybrid abridged edition in the Siku edition, traces the version lineage of various editions descending from the Siku manuscript （四庫底本）, and determines that the surviving Siku manuscript is the base text of the Southern Three Pavilions （南三閣） edition, while the movable-type edition does not originate from the Wenlan Pavilion （文瀾閣） edition but has another source. The research findings of this paper not only provide a solid version-based foundation for the collation and textual recovery of Changbian, but also vigorously advance research in the research fields such as Song Dynasty historical literature, Yongle Dadian and Siku Quanshu. The ＂End-Character Comparison Method＂ employed in large-scale comparision of duplicate copies, as well as the research strategy of adopting a holistic view of specialized works in this paper, can also offer methodological references and exemplars for the study of other historical documents.
