元明时期孔氏北宗复爵南宗授官辨正

Correction of recovering the empowerment for the southern branch of the Kong by the northern branch of the Kong in the Yuan and Ming dynasties

南宋金元对峙时期,孔氏宗子分裂为南北二宗。孔元措壬辰北渡,归附蒙古,其金国衍圣公身份自然中止。元军入江南,宋主奉降表,衢州孔洙自然失爵。蒙元时期及明朝初年,曲阜孔氏经历了失爵、复爵,再失爵、再复爵,反反复复几个过程。曲阜孔治袭爵,与孔洙无涉。按蒙元体例,不会舍北宗而取南宗。孔思晦袭爵,端赖儒臣与族人孔思友的助力。曲阜衍圣公皆出自"袭封位";衢州孔洙无后嗣,明孝宗以后衢州孔氏家庙世袭五经博士孔彦绳是孔传之后人,属"中散位"后裔,因而曲阜孔氏袭爵具有正当性。翰林院五经博士是官职而非爵位,孔彦绳授官五经博士,只是主奉衢州孔氏家庙祭祀,而非孔氏南宗复爵。
