萨都剌入方国珍幕府说辨析

A Fact Checking of Sa'dal-Allah's Service as an Aid in Fang Guozhen's Office

元末回回族诗人萨都剌晚年入方国珍幕府,是钱谦益首先提出来的,得到后来许多学者的支持。但此说存在着四个方面的问题:(一)方国珍最忌色目人,而萨都剌是色目人;(二)现存的萨都剌的创作中没有涉及方国珍及治下的人或事,也没有到过方国珍辖地的迹象;(三)现存的方国珍治下的文人创作中也没有涉及萨都剌有关的人或事;(四)最早的记载萨都剌与方国珍关系的两条史料本身存在着问题。因此,萨都剌入方国珍幕府说依据不足,可信度不高。

Qian Qianyi was the first scholar proposing that Sa＇dal-Allah, an Islamic poet of the Late Yuan Dynasty, once worked in his late years as an aid in Fang Guozhen＇s office. His opinion was supported by some other scholars. However, the following four facts are at odds with Qian＇s proposal. Firstly, Fang Guozhen was openly hostile to people of minority groups, and Sa＇ dal-Allah was a poet of Hui nationality. Secondly, in Sa＇dal-Allah＇s extant works, there is no record of the people and events concerning Fang Guozhen as well as his travel to the region under Fang＇s governance. Thirdly, scholars sponsored by Fang Guozhen left no record of Sa＇dal-Allah in their writings either. Finally, the earliest two historical records indicating the relationship between Fang Guozhen and Sa＇dal-Allah are questionable. Therefore, it is doubtful that Sa＇dai-Allah once served as an aid in Fang Guozhen＇s office.
