宋太祖朝翰林学士述论

The Hanlin Intellectuals in Taizu(太祖) Period in Song Dynasty

宋太祖朝任用翰林学士共八人,权直院一人。他们大多为旧朝词臣。其中除后蜀欧阳迥外,又皆为由后周入宋的中原人。他们入宋后大多已至生命的中岁和晚年,对于政治与文学,难以保持足够的热情和活力,也缺乏自觉的词臣意识和独立品格。严格地说,他们大多尚不能称为宋代作家,而是由五代向宋初过渡时期的翰苑词臣。太祖创业垂统,翰林学士润色典章仪制,太祖对翰林学士的态度因其才行不同而或尊重,或鄙夷,大体上体现了他重儒学、首德行、轻文学的用人观念。

Taizu period in Song Dynasty appointed 8 Hanlin intellectuals and 1 acting intellectual.Most of them were the imperial secretary of the former dynasty.Except Ouyang Jiong(欧阳迥) of HouShu(后蜀),all the others came into Song Dynasty from the Central Plains of HouZhou(后周).Most of them were already in their middle age and old age,and it was difficult for them to maintain enough enthusiasm and vitality for politics and literature,and they also lacked in awareness and independent character of the imperial secretary.Taizu's attitude towards the Hanlin intellectuals reflected his valuing of the virtue of Confucianism and his belittling of literature.
