明代翰林馆课集的存世馆藏探究

A Study of the Surviving Museum Collections of Hanlin Guanke Compilations of the Ming Dynasty

明代翰林馆课集是辑录明代庶吉士在翰林院进学期间应试文章的书籍,作为制举类用书的一种,因为出版业的发达和社会的需要而在明代后期大量刊刻。之后,随着明清政权更迭和社会动荡不安,很多馆课集已经散佚。现今明代翰林馆课集的存世数量虽然不多,但它们所辑录的馆课文章却承载着明代高级文官培养制度即庶吉士制度的内在价值观和政治理念,同时也真实反映了明代国家和社会的现实状况,是我们研究庶吉士制度和明代历史的重要史料。

Hanlin guanke compilations refer to a series of books that were compiled from the test papers of those editors with the Hanlin Academy. As a kind of textbooks for Zhiju , an irregular exam for selecting officials and scholars, such books got published on a large scale in the late Ming Dynasty thanks to the publishing industry's flourishing and social needs. Later, many got lost with the regime change and the social turbulence thus caused. The survivors, though small in number, carry the intrinsic values and political philosophy of senior civil service training system in the Ming Dynasty, or the Hanlin Bachelor system on the one hand, and tell a real imperial court and society of that dynasty on the other. Hence we can say that they serve as important historical data for our interpretation of the Hanlin Bachelor system and the history of the Ming Dynasty.
