谈姚广孝及其相关问题

On Yao Guangxiao and Related Issues

姚广孝是元末明初的杰出人物,在政治史、军事史、思想史、宗教史、文化史、科技史上都取得了极大的成就。其中的任何一项成就,都足以让他傲视千古,甚至丝毫不愧于“千古第一全才”的赞誉。然而就是这样一位伟大人物,特别是自明中期以后遭到主流社会贬斥封杀以致其形象被淡化丑化。总的说来,学界对姚广孝的研究还很薄弱,这与其应有的历史地位极不相符。本文旨在浅谈其历史功绩及应得的历史地位,以及简析其被淡化丑化的原因和有待研究的方面。

Yao Guangxiao is a very important outstanding figure in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty.He has made great achievements in political history,military history,ideological history,religious history,cultural history and science and technology history.Any one of these achievements is enough to make him proud of the ages,and even worthy of the praise of"The First All Rounder".However,it is such a great figure,especially since the middle of the Ming Dynasty,who was denounced and blocked by the mainstream society,so that his image was diluted and defaced.Generally speaking,the academic research on Yao Guangxiao is still very weak,which is not consistent with his due historical status.The purpose of this paper is to discuss its historical achievements and due historical status,as well as to analyze the reasons why it has been diluted and defaced and the aspects to be studied.
