建文帝从泉州港乘阿拉伯船逃亡海外真实性考析

Analytical Study of the Authenticity of Emperor Jianwen’s Escape from Port of Quanzhou by an Arab Ship

央视纪录片《历史的拐点·下西洋》命题贴切,但其中某些观点有待商榷。经考证分析,文章认为当时的泉州港已不具备建文帝外逃的客观条件,建文帝也未曾到泉州开元寺出家。所谓建文帝从泉州乘阿拉伯商船逃往海外,李挺追踪建文帝到泉州说法,源自日本小说《大航海》虚构及“台湾”和上海作家的相继误传。

The proposition of CCTV documentary The Turning Point of History·The Voyages to Western Ocean is appropriate,but some of the views in it are open to question.After analytical study,the article presents the view that the Port of Quanzhou at that time lacked objective conditions for Emperor Jianwen to escape,and Emperor Jianwen did not go to Kaiyuan Temple being a monk in Quanzhou.The so-called statements that Jianwen Emperor escaped overseas from Quanzhou by an Arab merchant ship,and Li Ting traced Emperor Jianwen to Quanzhou,were derived from the fiction of the Japanese novel Great Navigation and successive misinformation of the writers in Taiwan and Shanghai.
