《明文海》：抒发遗民的黍离悲情

Mingwenhai: Works about Adherents' Sorrow of National Subjugation

《明文海》辑纂清代康熙中期,对于表现晚明抗清志士英勇殉国的民族精神以及抨击清兵屠戮暴行的文章有所回避,多不能入选。但是,黄宗羲为了表达其遗民的气节和意志,改变策略,严夷夏之辨,而借宋喻明,借元刺清,选辑了大量明人论述宋相文天祥、宋厓山和宋遗民谢翱等人文章,曲折而隐晦地抒发其黍悲思。

Compiled in the middle period of Emperor Kangxi＇ s reign, Mingwenhai （A Collection of Articles in the Ming Dynasty） had to eliminate articles lauding the national spirit of patriots resisting the Manchurians with their lives, and articles condemning the massacre by the Qing Army. To convey the integrity of adherents of the former dynasty, the compiler Huang Zongxi adjusted his strategy by clarifying the differences between China and foreign nations and by using the Yuan Dynasty as an irony for the Qing. He selected articles by Ming authors discussing Wen Tianxiang, the Mountain of Ya, and adherents of the Song Dynasty （e. g. Xie Ao） to vent the sorrow of national subjugation in an implicit way.
