安徽明代文人结社的特点、成因和作用

The Features,Causes and Function of Literati Associations in Anhui Province in the Ming Dynasty

明代安徽地区的文人结社共有32家,位居全国第三,社事呈现出数量众多、种类齐全、分布不均、规模有限等特点。全国文人结社的大背景和周边地区的结社活动使得安徽的文人结社较为发达,地理环境的特征和文化发展的大势使得安徽的文人结社区域分布不均,各地经济、教育、文化发展水平的差异使得安徽的文人结社过多集中于徽州地区,而明代社会发展的阶段性特点则使得安徽的文人结社历时分布亦不均匀。安徽地区的文人结社活跃了当地的文坛,促进了当地教育和文化事业的繁荣,推动了明代文人结社的发展,在中国古代文人结社史上居有一席之地。

In Anhui, there were 32 literati associations in the Ming Dynas in the entire country. They were large in number, many in variety, uneven in ty, which ranked the third distribution, and limited in scale. The background of associating in the entire country and the peripheral area caused prosperous literati associations in Anhui. The features of geographical environment and the overall trend of cultural development caused the uneven distribution of those literati associations among districts. The differences of the developing level in economy, education and culture in every district caused those literati associations to concentrate excessively in Huizhou district. The phasic feature of social development in the Ming Dynasty caused the uneven distribution of those literati associations among periods. The literati associations in Anhui enlivened local literary world, flourished local education and culture and promoted the development of literati associations inthe Ming Dynasty, so it should have a place in the history of literati associations in ancient China.
