明人王祖嫡行实考述

Research on the Anecdotes of Wang Zudi’Life in Ming Dynasty

军户家庭出身的王祖嫡,在明中期以来文风昌盛的背景下,由于家庭变故而走上科举之途。因母病而屡进屡退以及自身价值观的影响,在进入翰林院等部门后,缺乏任职的连续性和进取意识,从而限制了他政治上的作为,却成全了他深厚的文学造诣。出于对完美道德的追求,在国家大政上不惧得失,敢言直谏;在地方教化和灾害救助中献计献策,出资出力,展现了他所具有的高尚品质和人格魅力。

In the context of the literary efflorescence of the mid-Ming period,Wang Zudi, who was born into a military household that suffered misfortune,took the path to the civil service examinations. Because of his own values and frequent entering and withdrawing from service due to his mother＇s illness,after entering the Hanlin Academy and other offices, he lacked continuity in office and a mentality of advancement, which limited his political activities but helped to complete his literary attainments. In pursuit of a perfected morality, he did not care about gains and losses and dared to speak his mind about great state policies. He made recommendations regarding local education and put forth resources and efforts in disaster relief, thus developing his noble character and charming personality.
