李承箕江门行迹考略

A Brief Study of Li Chengji's Activities in Jiangmen

弘治元年(1488年)至弘治十三年(1500年)期间,李承箕四次从湖北嘉鱼来到新会(今江门市新会区),师从陈献章。陈献章对其极为器重,专门修筑"楚云台"让其居住。在与陈献章问学十余年的过程中,其足迹遍布江门以及周边地区。李承箕不但与陈献章有一种奇特的师生情谊,而且与同门之间及当地名士交往密切,在江门期间参与修撰《新会县志》和撰写大量诗歌、传、说、记留世。考证李承箕江门行迹过程中的人和事,对研究"江门学派"学术圈子的形成和陈献章之学自成体系的理论依据,具有重要意义。

From the first year (1488) to the thirteenth year (1500)of the Hongzhi reign period, Li Chengji came from Jiayu, Hubei Province, to Xinhui (presently Xinhui District of Jiangmen) on four occasions. He was the most valued disciple of Chen Xianzhang who specially built a house as his residence. In the course of learning with Chen during more than ten years, his footprints spread all over Jiangmen and its surrounding areas. Li Chengji not only had a peculiarly close friendship with Chen, but also had close contacts with his peers and local celebrities. During his Jiangmen period, he compiled Xinhui County Chronicle and wrote a large number of poems, biographies, stories and records. Textual research on the people and events related to Li Chengji during his stay in Jiangmen is of great significance to the study of the formation of the academic circle of Jiangmen School and the theoretical basis of Chen Xianzhang’s self-cultivation system.
