略论明孝宗的弊政

A Discussion of the Maladministration of Emperor Zhu Youtang

明孝宗在位期间,采取积极措施,纠正前朝弊政,使明王朝走向中兴盛世。但受传统思想及自身经历的影响,明孝宗仍有一些弊政,如宠信权臣、宦官,偏袒外戚、宗亲,沉迷佛道、宫廷娱乐等。而这些弊政,不仅对当朝产生了不利影响,也为后来明武宗的腐败埋下了伏笔。

While Emperor Zhu Youtang was in power,he took some positive measures to correct the maladministration of the former emperor,and made the Ming Dynasty a flourishing age.Influenced by the traditional ideas and his own experiences,he still made some mistakes in administration during the Hong Zhi period,such as putting his trust in powerful chancellors and eunuchs,giving unprincipled protection both to his wife＇s relatives and his,indulging in Buddhism and Taoism and court entertainment.All of these maladies not only had a negative impact on the present dynasty,but also foreshadowed the later emperor Zhu Houzhao＇ corruption.
