清代诗人生卒年丛考——以钱集选等江南地区诗人为中心

The Supplement of Textual Research on the Birth and Death Years of Poets in Qing Dynasty——Focusing on Qian Ji-xuan and Other Poets in Jiangnan Area

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。现在以钱集选等江南地区诗人为中心,在这方面做一些探讨。

Chinese classical poetry developed in accordance with the principle of acceleration and achieved extreme prosperity in Qing Dynasty. So far there were at least more than one hundred thousand poets in Qing Dynasty whose works were handed down, which was several times more than the sum of previous generations of poets. However, few of these poets＇ birth and death years can be obtained now. It would be a difficult problem in the compile of The Complete Works of Poetry in Qing Dynasty and some regional poems. Therefore, the constant supplement of textual research on the birth and death years is indeed necessary. Focusing on ten members of poets societies, such as Lu Pei, this paper will probe into these aspects.
