“文章之道”如何“复归词林”——论明代嘉隆之际的馆阁文学

A Study on the Central Official Literature of the Jiajing-Longqing Period in Ming Dynasty

嘉隆之际,徐阶努力恢复内阁的正常运作,并以此净化馆阁的政治、文学生态。在他和继任首辅的一再申敕下,重道轻文、讲求实用的馆阁文学指导理念得到强化。而复古思潮同时在中下级馆阁作家间涌动:袁炜向新翰林大力灌输前七子的文学理论,殷士儋、赵贞吉等在教习庶吉士时也有意将后七子的文学主张与馆阁文统有机结合。这引导年轻一代的馆阁作家向郎署复古派靠近,不但取得了可观的文学成就,也燃起了重振馆阁文学的信心。

During the time of Jiajing and Longqing, Xu Jie endeavored to restore normal operation of the Cabinet for purifying the politics and literary ecology of Hanlin Academy. Under rebukes of Xu Jie and his successors, political and practical guidance ideas strengthened the central official literature. On the other hand, the surge of ideological trend restored ancient ways among lower Hanlin Academy writers as well. Yuan Wei strongly advocated literary thoughts of Qian Qizi to fresh Hanlin Academy writers. Yin Shidan and Zhao Zhenji were interested in the retro literature thoughts of Hou Qizi and combined them with?the central official literary?tradition when they were teaching Hanlin Bachelors. This has guided the younger generation of Hanlin Academy writers to be close to court attendant bureau literature, which not only has achieved considerable literary achievement, but also has fueled their confidence of reviving the central official literature.
