《留都防乱公揭》与复社的分化

The Public Notice to Prevent Riots in Metropolis and the Breaking-up of Fushe Association

明季阉党乱政迫害忠良的局面虽然在崇祯即位后得到扭转,但以阮大铖为代表的阉党余孽并不甘心失败。特别是温体仁担任内阁首辅之后,政治生态持续恶化,文化人文生态不见好转,令人担忧,复社领袖、东林元老面临严重的危机。在东林后生参加复社活动后,明确了复社的斗争目标,展开了积极的政治活动,刊行了《留都防乱公揭》。于是,虽然部分元老的学术研究继续,领导核心也逐渐淡出复社活动,但复社由学术性凝聚演化为政治性聚集已不可逆转,开始了复社的分化。

Although the situation of political chaos and prosecution in the Ming dynasty has been reversed since the emperor Chongzhen acceded to the throne,the remaining forces of Eunuch Party represented by Ruan Dacheng didn＇t reconcile themselves to failure.Especially after Wen Tiren held the post of cabinet minister,political ecology continued to worsen.It was worrying that cultural ecology didn＇t get better.In addition,leaders of the Fushe Association and seniors of Donglin School faced a serious crisis.Later,the younger generation of Donglin School took part in the activities of Fushe Association and made clear of its struggle goal.They launched political activities positively and published The Public Notice to Prevent Riots in Metropolis.Therefore,although partial seniors continued their academic researches and the core of leadership gradually faded out of the Fushe activities,the situation that Fushe evolved from academic gathering to political gathering has been irreversible.Fushe Association began to break up.
