扬州闺秀著述与交游研究新视野——以何佩珠一门交游圈为例

A New Landscape of Women's Literary Production and Social Bonding in Yangzhou:Networks of He Pei-zhu's Family

清扬州闺秀何佩珠(1819-?)因其剧作《梨花梦》近年颇受研究者关注。文章将研究重心从对剧作的阐释转向著述活动的家族、地域、文化环境,从剧作者何佩珠的写作意图转向其家庭的文化轨迹,进而拓展视野,以期获得对扬州一带闺秀著述与交游风气的新认知。文中搜集何氏一门现存著作,发掘这一家庭与徽商家族在扬州缔造的盐业文化之间的联系,并以绘图方式直观展现其社交纽带。何氏交游圈既覆盖扬州精英社会,也通过关键"节点"延伸至江南文化中心一带。其中阮元这一关键"节点"尤能为研究扬州闺秀群体及其与江南文化中心的联系开启广阔空间。拓展的视野可纠正既有扬州研究的片面性,展现出为"风月"想象所遮蔽的闺秀文化风气,同时为徽商家族研究与明清妇女著述研究带来方法论的启发。

The Qing woman writer,He Peizhu（ 1819-？）,whose family resided in Yangzhou,has attracted increasing scholarly attention due to her play,Dream of Pear Blossoms. This study shifts the focus from the textual interpretation of the play to the socio-cultural trends shaping its production and the He family＇s cultural activities,as a means of bringing to light a new landscape of women＇s literary production and social bonding in Yangzhou. Garnering from their literary works——and illustrating in graphs——information of their social bonds,this study uncovers the He family＇s ties to the culture of salt wealth built by the Huizhou mercantile lineages in Yangzhou and to the elite networks in the cultural heartland of the lower Yangtze area. Major＂nodes＂in these networks,especially Ruan Yuan,open the door to the rich records of women＇s literary communities in Yangzhou and their connections with the cultural heartland. Understanding Yangzhou in the above light calls into question the stereotypical images of the women of Yangzhou——as part of the city＇s notorious ＂commerce of women＂——and brings methodological insights to the studies of the Huizhou mercantile lineages and women＇s writings from the Ming-Qing era.
