清代诗人生卒年补考——以释可韵等湖北籍诗人为中心

A Complementary Research on Birth and Death of Qing Poets: Hubei Poets Around Shi Keyun

中国古典诗歌按照加速度的原理发展,至清代而达到极度繁荣。迄今仍有作品传世的清代诗人,少说也在十万人以上,超过此前历代诗人总和的若干倍。但他们的生卒年,目前能够现成查到的,仅仅只有很少的一部分。日后像编纂《全清诗》以及地方诗歌文献之类,这都会成为一个棘手的问题。因此,从有关原始资料不断补充考察清代诗人生卒年,的确很有必要。现在以释可韵等湖北籍诗人为中心,在这方面做一些探讨。

Chinese classic poetry had accelerated its development until Qing Dynasty when the number of poets with recorded and transmitted works exceeded 100,000, much more than the total number of the poets of previous dynasties. However, few of these poets＇ dates of birth and death were recorded and discriminated. It will make it difficult to compile The Complete Works of Poetry in Qing Dynasty and archives of regional poetry. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement original textual resources to discriminate dates of birth and death of those poets. This paper focuses on Shi Keyun and other Hubei poets and manages to make a further investigation of their birth and death, which will help us to have a better understanding of the interrelationship of their life, age and poems.
