吴绛雪婚姻及死事考

A Research of the Marriage and Death of Wu Jiangxue

清代闺阁诗人吴绛雪的研究者和关注者都忽略了一种重要史料:永康西城徐氏宗谱。查阅该谱,比对相关文献,可以获得两点新发现:第一,绛雪婚事从订亲起就不美满;第二,耿精忠叛军犯境之时,她为保士庶免遭屠戮而舍身赴难,其事迹却于二百二十年后方获表彰,原因在于当年清廷主事高官"平叛扩大化"的昏聩思维及其所造成的长期政治压力。

Both researchers and people who care about Wu Jiangxue, a boudoir poet during the Qing Dynasty ignored an important historical material： The Xu Family Genealogy of Yongkang Xicheng. By studying the genealogy and comparing it with the other literature, two new discoveries can be achieved： 1. Wu Jiangxue was by no means happy with her marriage ever since the engagement. 2. Wu sacrifced her life to protect the scholars and the masses from slaughter when Gen Jingzhong’s rebel army invaded the borders. However, her deeds were commended after 220 years because of the decrepit mindset of the Qing Dynasty’s high officials in charge “overgeneralized the necessity to quell down rebels”, and caused the long-term political pressure.
