前七子三事考论

An Examination of the Anecdotes of the Seven Scholars in Ming Dynasty

通过对前七子及其外围成员的行踪和文学思想嬗变考察,并结合弘治、正德年间的文坛形势,确定前七子领导的复古运动应该始于弘治十一年(1498),从弘治十一年至弘治十五(1502)年是复古运动的酝酿期,弘治十五年(1502)至正德六年(1511)是复古运动的发展期,正德六年(1511)至嘉靖九年(1530)是复古运动的高潮期,嘉靖九年(1530)后处于衰微期。"李、康"与"李、何"两种说法都对,只不过是就不同文体和时间段而言。前七子中只有李梦阳与李东阳有师生之谊。

Through a careful examination of the whereabouts of the Seven Scholars and their peripheral members as well as the changes in their literary thoughts and by taking into account the literary trends in the Hongzhi and Zhengde Periods, this paper determines that the Restoration Campaign under the leadership of the Seven Scholars began in the eleventh year of the Hongzhi Period （1598） and lasted until the nieth year of the Jiajing Period （1530）, during which the above--mentioned campaign was prepared between the eleventh year （1498） and fifteenth year （1502） of the Hongzhi Period, was developed between the eleventh year （1502） and fifteenth year （1511） of the Zhengde Period, and reached its climax between the sixth year （1511） of the Zhengde Period and the ninth year （1503） of the Jiajing Period. Different statements about the Seven Scholars are studied and their relations also researched.
