陈轼生平考

An Investigation of Chen Shi's Lifetime

陈轼是明末清初福州遗民文人,他一生经历明清易代,生活特殊,使得他阅历极其丰富复杂,对社会和人生的认识与思考也较为深刻。因此,研究陈轼的生平经历,对进一步研究他的遗民志节、创作思想及风格特征,乃至明末清初福州遗民文人群的整体心态等,颇有必要。根据《道山堂集》及相关文献资料,将陈轼的一生分为四个阶段:读书应试、求取功名时期;朝代鼎革,宦粤交游时期;中年坎坷,颠沛流离时期;隐居道山,酬唱著述时期。

Chen Shi, an adherent of the Ming Dynasty, was a man of letters in Fuzhou in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. He went through the change of the dynasties. This made his life experience rich and complex, and gave him a profound understanding and reflection of the society and people then. Therefore, a study of his life experiences is essential to the research on his mind as an adherent, his works and their styles, and the overall mentality of the adherent literati then in Fuzhou. According to The Collection of Dao Shan Tang and the relevant literature, Chen Shi＇s lifetime could be divided into four stages ： the first period when he received education and took exams for official ranks, the second period when he served as an official in Guangdong after the dynasty change, the third period when he wandered around in his rough middle age, and the fourth period when he withdrew himself to the mountains as a hermit and started his writing.
