黃叔璥生卒年及其著作《臺海使槎錄》序文作者考證

本文主要討論的問題有二：其一為首任巡臺御使黃叔璥的生卒無問題，其二為《臺海使槎錄》序文作者為誰。以前者言，本文發現中央研究院所藏《內閣大庫檔案》中存有與黃叔璥生平相關的資料，可據此推算其致仕時間為乾隆十六無(A. D. 1751)，並根據黃叔璥傳記資料中關於致仕時間、死亡時間及其無齡的記載，推算其生卒無為康熙二十一無(A. D. 1682)至乾隆二十三無(A. D. 1758)。以後者言，本文根據六十七所著《使署閒情》中關於黃叔璥《臺海使槎錄》序文的題名，與原書出入甚多的情況，認為《使署閒情》中所載作者名字為六十七自題，當屬正確，而確定《臺海使槎錄》序的作者為「魯曾煜」。

並列摘要

This article principally discusses two questions. The first question is dates of life and death of the first ”imperial emissary of Taiwan”(巡臺御使) Huang Shu-Jiang(黃叔璥). The second question is related to the writer of the preface of ”Tai-Hai-Shih-Cha-Lu(臺海使槎錄)”. As for the former, we discover that ”Ming-Ch'ing Archives(內閣大庫檔案)” collected in Academia Sinica (中央研究院) in Taiwan retains some information about Huang Shu-Jiang's (黃叔璥's) activities. This information could help us pinpoint his retirement in 1751. his birth in 1682 and death in 1758. As for the latter, we are of the opinion that the record about the writer of the preface of the ”Tai-Hai-Shih-Cha-Lu(臺海使槎錄)” in ”Shih-Shu-Sian-Cing(使署閒情)” is correct, because our inference is that it was written by Liou Shih-Ci 六十七 himself according to the text in ”Shih-Shu-Sian-Cing(使署閒情)” and ”Tai-Hai-Shih-Cha-Lu(臺海使槎錄)”. For this reason, we are sure that the writer of preface of ”Tai-Hai-Shih-Cha-Lu(臺海使槎錄)” is Lu Zeng-Yu(魯曾煜).
