“为天强派作诗人”——袁枚散馆外放的“前因”及其婉拒乾隆临幸随园考论

Study on the Causes of Yuan Mei's Being Transferred from the Bureaus of Study and His Declining of Qian Long's Coming to Suiyuan

袁枚由翰林散馆外放江南知县,因其试清书最下等,更有其前馆课作《清说》等原因;但是,袁枚却归之于乾隆“强派”其如此。其33岁致仕,实与失望于乾隆皇帝有关。进而有在乾隆第二次南巡时,袁枚婉拒尹继善葺随园接驾之议。就出处大节而论,袁枚不愧是我国封建社会晚期一位尚有独立人格的知识分子。

Yuan Mei was transferred from Hanlin Bureaus to Jiangnan as country magistrate, which has many causes. The first one is that his mark was the worst in Qingxue, and he wrote QingShuo before etc. But Yuan Mei thought it was because of Qian Long's force. He retired at the age of 33 years old. In fact,it was related to his disappointment to Qian Long. So when Qianlong went to south patrol again, Yuan Mei refused Yin Jishan's opinion about repairing Suiyuan in order to wait the arrival of the Emperor. From the perspective of his moral courage, Yuan Mei is worthy of study who kept the independent personality in the late period of Feudal Age.
