论钱谦益与东林党争

On Qian Qianyi and Dong Lin Party Struggles

作为明末清初颇具争议的人物,钱谦益身兼东林党魁与文坛盟主于一身。与文坛上的自鸣得意相反,政坛上的钱谦益屡陷党争的漩涡,难以自拔,纵观其一生的政治生涯,大略可划分为:一、科场未第时;二、万历庚戌科场案;三、天启浙闱关节案;四、党魁之目始成;五、崇祯枚卜案;六、辛丑狱案;七、策划周延儒入阁;八、入清复明运动等八个阶段。

Qian Qianyi is a controversial figure for he is the Donglin Party leader and he is also a literary chief. He attains a lot of achievements in terms of literature but in politics he is deeply involved in Party internal wars.
