艾南英、张自烈时文之争与晚明时文选政

The Quarrel between AI Nanying and ZHANG Zilie over the Essays Prescribed for Civil Examinations and the Selection and Compiling in the Late Ming Dynasty

艾南英因时文房选与江左文人发生争论,成为晚明文坛的一段公案。因张溥等的离间策略,艾氏与张自烈就编选时文展开争辩,并认为张自烈的《国朝今文辩》大量抄袭自己编选的《今文定》、《今文待》。有证据表明,张自烈编选时文之举受到了江左文人的唆使,论争实际是艾南英与江左文人矛盾的延续。艾南英强调以江右古文传统改造时文,而张自烈编选时文"重经",与江左重秦汉的文学主张接近。二人论争是地域文学传统之争在时文领域的反映。

The quarrel between AI Nanying and scholars from south of the lower reaches of the Changjiang River became a well - known ease in the literary world of the Late Ming Dynasty. The wedge set by ZHANG Fu and others caused AI Nanying to argue fiercely with ZHANG Zilie. AI thought that Guo Chao Jin Wen Bian compiled by ZHANG copied much of Jin Wen Ding and .]in Wen Dai compiled by AI. There was evidence that ZHANG Zilie was instigated by scholars from south of the lower reaches of the Changjiang River to select and compile the essays prescribed for civil examinations. The argument was actually the continuation of contradiction between AI Nanying and scholars from south of the lower reaches of the Changjiang River. AI Nanying emphasized to re- form the selection of essays prescribed for civil examinations according to the Jiangxi＇ s traditional ancient style prose, while ZHANG Zilie emphasized classic proses in his selecting and compiling, which was close to the literary view of scholars from south of the lower reaches of the Changjiang River who emphasized the Qin -Han literature. The quarrel between AI Nanying and ZHANG Zilie reflects argument over the regional literary tradition of the essays prescribed for civil examinations.
