本文以雲南騰越人李根源在清末留學日本期間編輯，回國後刊刻的兩部滇籍明臣著作集《滇南五名臣遺集》和《明雷石庵胡二峰遺集合刊》為切入點，結合他在日本加入興中會後為革命刊物《雲南雜誌》編輯的特刊《滇粹》，討論他在投身革命反滿和抵禦外侮的民族革命過程中，對明代歷史的藉助和帶有的地域性色彩。在晚清，闡揚明史以鼓吹革命是革命黨人和有革命思想的讀書人的普遍共識，李根源選編的滇籍明臣著作令他走在了這一時代風潮的前列。究其原因，有他明遺民家族史的影響，也有他父祖輩言行的示範，還有他主持片馬勘界等親身見聞經歷的因素。從革命成功後李根源在整理鄉邦文獻事業上的成就看，他的地域民族主義的思想在革命初期起到了推動他參加革命並提升其地位的作用，但在此後，李根源卻並未隨著社會政治思潮的更新去進而關心幅度更廣的新問題。

This article uses the Diannan wumingchen yiji and Ming leishian huerfeng yijihekan, the two classical works compiled and printed in the early twentieth century in Yunnan by Li Gengyuan (1879-1965) to examine how the biographies and works of eminent local scholar-officials of the Ming dynasty could be used to promote national revolution, but from a local perspective. A famous family loyal to the Ming dynasty since its ancestors originally arrived in Yunnan, the Li clan was a member of the local official elite. Genyuan was raised, however, under his father Damao's instruction to absorb revolutionary ideas by reading revolutionary newspapers, which laid the foundation of his revolutionary career when he was still a youth in Yunnan. Genyuan also grasped the basic knowledge of local terrain under his father's guidance, and followed the tradition of compiling a local gazette. He successfully combined revolutionary ideas and local images by collecting outstanding Yunnan official-scholars' works in Ming history to call for national revolution in the 1910s when facing foreign invaders such as the French and English, and Genyuan became a revolutionary leader. However, after the success of the revolution Genyuan still dedicated himself to compiling local classics. He did not adopt the political theories that had already become dominant in the early twentieth century.
