元代新安理学家唐元考论

Textual Research on Xin'an Neo-Confucian Tang Yuan in Yuan Dynasty

唐元是徽州"唐氏三先生"之一,历任平江路儒学学录、建德路分水县儒学教谕、集庆路南轩书院山长等职,高年以徽州路儒学教授致仕,时人誉为"东南学者师"。他的《易传义大意》、《见闻录》等理学著作均已散佚,但雪泥鸿爪间仍能窥得其旨趣大概;诗文集尚存《筠轩集》十三卷,展示了他纡徐典雅的文风和丰缛清润的诗风,在当时即已受到虞集、方回等人的赞赏。唐元等一批元代新安理学家、文学家,继承并发扬了程朱理学,为徽州学术与文学在明清的繁荣奠定了基础。

As one of the three masters surnamed by Tang, Tang Yuan has served successively as Confucian assessor in Suzhou, educational instructor in Fenshui, Nanxuan College dean in Nanjing and so on. Later, he retired from the position of Confucian instructor in Huizhou and was praised as ＂Tutor of All Scholars in Southeast China＂. His Neo-Confucian masterpieces such as General Concept on Changes and Record on All One Saw and Heard have already been lost. But through tracing back the scattered sources, the purport and the framework could be acquired. The current existing poetry collection entitled Bamboo Chamber with altogether thirteen volumes has demonstrated his soothing and elegant style of writing as well as his rhetoric and gentle poetic style, which was already appreciated at that time by Yu Ji and Fang Hui. With Tang Yuan included as a member, a group of Xin＇an Neo-Confucians in the Yuan Dynasty and those men of letters have inherited and developed Neo-Confucianism, and laid the foundation for the prosperity of Huizhou academy and literature in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
