《扬州画舫录》与徽学——以两淮徽籍盐商为主体观照

Accounts of Yangzhou Pleasure-Boats and the School of Hui:Observed from the Perspective of the Anhui Salt Dealers in the Huai River Areas

《扬州画舫录》和徽学关系密切。侧重从两淮徽籍盐商视角考察,可知其在清代康乾时期已跃居为两淮盐商的主体,极大地推动了扬州各项事业的发展;徽人重视儒商互补,经商固本,诗礼承家,子孙后代走科举仕进道路,以至形成一些声誉远播的名门望族;受徽州深厚文化积淀沾溉的徽人及其后裔,依凭才智、能力成功融入扬州社会,涌现出一大批学者、文士、艺术家等社会名流。应当重视《扬州画舫录》与徽学的研究。

The book Accounts of Yangzhou Pleasure-boats is closely related to the School of Hui. This research focuses on the salt dealers from Anhui（Hui） Province who were active in the two Huai areas. It suggests that they have become dominant in the Kangxi and Qianlong＇s times of Qing dynasty. They greatly promoted the development of various industries in Yangzhou. These Hui merchants combined business with education, enriched their families by business while still inherited a Confucian cultural heritage of poetry and etiquette in their families, encouraging their offspring to make their way into the government through taking imperial civil service examinations. As a result, some prominent noble families came into being. With the influence of the pro- found cultural background as well as their intelligence and capability, the Hui people and their descendants merged themselves into the Yangzhou society successfully. A lot of celebrities including scholars, literati, artists, and so on emerged. More attention should be given to the research on the relationship between the Accounts of Yangzhou Pleasure-boats and the School of Hui.
