明代文学生态与帝王的诗歌态度

Literary Ecology and the Emperors’ Attitude of Poem in Ming Dynasty

封建体制下的至尊君王对诗歌发达有着极为重要的影响作用,有明十六帝,勤荒仁暴,群象各异,但对于诗歌却没有太大兴趣,部分君王虽以形式各异的赋诗、赐诗行为维系着自己作为国家文化最高象征的天子形象,但这种诗歌行为大多有着逸出文学指向之外的政治色彩和文化意义。明代君王对于诗歌并无特别的爱好,更无着意的提倡鼓励,而此则成为明诗难及唐、宋的一个重要因素。

The emperor in the traditional society has great importance to the development of poem. But the sixteen emperors in Ming Dynasty who have different character have no interest in poems. The emperors in Ming Dynasty compose and grant poems in order to maintain the image as the national cultural symbol, but the poetic behavior is mostly associated with the political color and cultural significance beyond the domain of literature.They do not have special hobby of poems, needless to say to promote it. Therefore this explains the fact that Ming poems have not restored the prosperity like that in Tang and Song Dynasty.
