晚清胶东名儒郑杲生平事迹考

The Exploration of Zheng Gao’s Life Story

即墨郑杲是晚清胶东学派的代表人物。其生平可分为即墨苦读、为官京城、回乡丁忧三个阶段。通过勤学苦读,郑杲光绪六年中进士,任职刑部。除了回乡丁忧三年,被好友孙葆田举荐任泺源书院主讲外,郑杲一直在京为官。尽管数次越职言事,然终以学术为务,而未深涉政治,所交如柯劭忞、马其昶、宋书升等,亦皆为学者、文人。郑杲拙于生计,年收入约白银500两,生活相对清贫。除了学术造诣和人物品格外,《清史稿》《清儒学案》的编纂体例、与撰稿者及主持者的亲密关系,是郑杲在两书中被凸显的重要因素。

Zheng Gao, a native of Jimo, Shandong province, is a representative of Jiaodong school in the late Qing Dynasty. His whole life can be divided into three periods:being a student in Jimo, being an official in the Capital, and being in mourning for his mother in his hometown. From 1880 to 1900, Zheng had been an official in Ministry of Penalty in the Capital, except for the years from 1895 to 1898 when he went back to Shandong to be in mourning for his mother s death, and taught in Luo Yuan Academy as chief professor recommended by his friend Sun Baotian. Zheng expressed his political views several times during his political career, but he devoted himself to academic research all his life. His companies were scholars and literati. Zheng was poor in making profit and lived a poor life. He was given prominence in Qingshi Gao and Qingru Xue an not just for his academic attainments and moral character, but also for his close affinity to the authors and compilers.
