论宋真宗朝“五鬼”

On "Five Ghosts" during the Reign of Emperor Song Zheng Zong

被称为“五鬼”的王钦若、丁谓、林特、陈彭年、刘承皀，是宋真宗朝政治 舞台上极为活跃并对这一时期的历史发展进程起决定性作用的人物，由于他们的所作所为对 历史产生的巨大的负面作用，使人们忽略了对“五鬼”作更深入、全面甚至是较为客观的研 究。本文从宋代文官政治体制的角度，探讨了“五鬼”在真宗朝得势的原因；并从科举制度 、宋代经济和财政管理以及对宋代文化基础性的建设三个方面，论述了“五鬼”对宋代文官 体制的建立和宋代经济和文化发展所作的贡献，进而阐述了真宗朝在有宋一代历史发展进程 中无可替代的重要地位。
