陶宗仪家世考略

Textual Research into Tao Zongyi's Family Social Standing

元末明初文史学家陶宗仪是台州本土文化孕育的学者,一生未入仕籍,正史所载寥寥。综合对陶氏的考证,有以下特征:一是流迁与客居,考其先祖,本为闽民,北徙永嘉,复徙台州,宗仪后长期流寓松江;二是薄宦与节义,陶氏家族以儒立身,孝感节义,虽无显赫功绩,却也个性鲜明;三是书画与文史,宗仪以文史名家,母党、妻族均系赵宋宗室,书画乃至为人行事等方面亦受赵雍、王蒙等影响。

Taizhou culture gave bith to Tao Zongyi, a specialist in literature and history at the turning point between Yuan and Ming Dynasty. Little about him was recorded in history books, for he was never an official. Textual research summarized, the following conclusions can be arrived ： 1 ） wandering and stay in strange lands. His forefathers were natives of Fujian and they moved first to Yongjia, then to Taizhou. Zongyi and his children wandered in the area of Songjiang; 2 ） Treating officials not well and high moral principles. Tao family with filial piety, thankfulness, loyalty and high moral principles, followed the way of Confucians to conduct themselves in society. Though they lacked illustrious merits, they owned distinctive characteristics; 3） Calligraphy, painting, literature and history. Tao Zongyi was a famous specialist in literature and history. His mother and wife＇s kins- folk are both the imperial clansman of Zhao family. His calligraphy, paintings and attitude towards life are all under the influence of Zhao Yong and Wang Meng.
