“台阁体”非“七子”复古对立考论

众多学者在论著中把"前七子"的复古作为"台阁体"文学的对立面来看待,把"台阁体"文学的最早代表认定为杨士奇。然而,对明代学者关于"台阁体"文学的主要观点进行一个系统考察后我们发现,明代"台阁体"文学应该起源于宋濂,明代的文学复古也源于明初宋濂等人的"台阁体"文学,只是到何、李时期达到高潮。"台阁体"文学不应作为"前七子"复古的对立,而应看成明代复古文学重要的一部分。合理理解"台阁体"文学以及明代复古运动的历史,我们必须立足于文献,澄清和修正目前学界对于"台阁体"与"前七子"关系认识上的部分偏误,并对"台阁体"进行一些翻案。

Textual Research against the Claim of 'Taige Style' Literature Being Contradictory to the Trend of 'Restoring Ancient Ways' by Seven Poetic Celebrities in the Ming Dynasty

Many scholars tend to view the trend of ＇ restoring ancient ways＇ by seven poetic celebrities in the early Ming Dynasty and the ＇Taige- style＇ literature as contradictory to one another, and Yang Shiqi, as purported by them, is identified as the earliest representative of the ＇ Taige -style＇ literature. However, after careful and sys- tematic investigations into majors opinions held by scholars in the Ming Dynasty regarding the ＇ Taige - style＇ litera- ture, it is found that the ＇ Taige - style＇ literature was first initiated by Song Lian, who, together with others, also jointly contributed to the campaign of ＇returning to the ancients＇ Therefore, it is argued that the ＇Taige -style＇ literature should not be treated as a contradiction to the trend of ＇ restoring ancient ways＇ , but rather should be viewed as an important part of it. A correct understanding of the history of the ＇ Taige - style＇ literature and the lit- erary trend of ＇ restoring ancient ways＇ based on scrupulous textual research will help us clarify and revise the mis- understandings that surround the relationship between the ＇ Taige - style＇ literature and the seven poetic celebrities in the early Ming Dynasty.
