《明人诗品》考论

Textual Research on The Comment on Poetry by People in the Ming Dynasty

杜荫棠《明人诗品》评点有明一代诗歌,涉及到253位诗人的生平及诗作,内容宏富,因而屡被学界征引。今人蒋寅、徐国能先生对该书价值评价较高。然而,通过比勘文本,不难发现《明人诗品》系杜荫棠据朱彝尊《明诗综》等书辑录而成,而非如学者所言"文献多出自第一手资料"。该书乃纂钞类文献,内容沿袭前人,无甚发明,且文本在辑录、传抄、刊刻过程中谬误百出,其价值须重新估定。

Du Yintang＇s The Comment on Poetry by People in the Ming Dynasty reviewed poetry of the Ming Dynasty,which involved 253 poets＇ life and poetry. Due to its rich content,this book has been frequently quoted among the academic circles. Jiang Yin and Xu Guoneng give a high evaluation about it. But by Comparison of texts,It is found that The Comment on Poetry by People in the Ming Dynasty is collected based on Zhu Yizun＇s A Review of the Poerty of the Ming Dynasty and many other books and that it is not collected from the first hand materials which is contrary to some scholars＇ belief. The content of the book follows the previous works,having few creative ideas.And there came up with many mistakes in its process of collection,copying and inscription aring. So the value of it should be assessed again.
