再论朱元璋的功绩与历史地位

Reevaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang's Contributions and Historic Posit ion

学术界对明太祖朱元璋有不同的评价 ,本文认为朱元璋推翻元朝统治 ,统一全国 ,加强中央集权 ,稳定政治局势 ,调整生产关系 ,恢复发展经济 ,弼成“洪武之治” ,为明朝的历史发展奠定了坚实的基础。他所制定的一套典章制度 ,还为明朝的长治久安提供必要的保障 ,并多为清朝所继承 ,对此后的历史发展产生了深远的影响。朱元璋的历史功绩 ,远远超过此前的历次农民战争后那些新王朝开国皇帝 ,同秦皇、汉武、唐宗、宋祖相比 ,也难分轩轾。

In the academic field, the evaluation of Emperor Mingtaizong, Zhu Yuan zhang, and his contributions as well as his historic position is different. Zhu united the whole nation after overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, strengthened the ce ntralization of authority, stabilized the society, coordinated the productive re lation, and recuperated and developed economics so his reign was called 'Hongwu Period', which was inherited by the Qing Dynasty, and which lays a solid foundat ion to the later development of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu also formulated a series o f administrative rules and regulations that served as tools to govern the subjec ts of the Ming Dynasty successfully and was carried on by the Qing Dynasty. This paper considers Zhu Yuanzhang as a positive role in Chinese history who can mat ch any great emperor such as Emperor Qinshihuang, Emperor Hanwudi, Emperor Tangt aizong and Emperor Songtaizu.
