明代宋诗选本论略

A Brief Discussion on Anthologies of Poems of the Song Dynasty Compiled in the Ming Dynasty

明代宋诗选本现可考者约有十五家。它们虽是对时人过度轻视宋诗的反驳,但也没有超越崇唐抑宋的时代风气,在选诗标准上多持以唐存宋的态度。明代宋诗选本保留了不少珍贵的宋诗文献,成为清代宋诗选本的文献来源之一,对清代宋诗复兴起过重要作用,但作为文献又有诸多缺陷,给清代选本带来不好的影响。

There were 15 extant anthologies of poems of the Song Dynasty compiled in the Ming Dynasty. Even they refuted the argument that the scholars in the Ming Dynasty were looking down on the poems of the Song Dynasty, they did not overstep the general mood of advocating the poems of the Tang Dynasty and debasing the ones of the Song Dynasty at that time, and the compiling standard was close to the poems of the Tang Dynasty. These anthologies saved some valuable literary materials and became one of the literary sources for the compilers in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, they played an important role in renaissance of the poems of the Song Dynasty, while they had bad influence at the same time for their disadvantages.
