浅谈姚广孝及其相关问题

A Tentative Discussion on Yao Guangxiao and His Related Issues

姚广孝是元末明初非常重要的杰出人物,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。浅谈其历史功绩及应得的历史地位,简析其被淡化丑化的原因和有待研究的方面。

Yao Guangxiao was a very important outstanding figure in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.He made great achievements in the history of politics,military affairs,ideology,religion,culture and science and technology.Any of these achievements are enough to make him proud forever,even worthy of the praise of“the first all-rater of the ages”.However,it was such a great figure,especially since the middle period of the Ming Dynasty that he was demoralized and banned by the mainstream society so that his image was diluted and uglified.On the whole,the academic research on Yao Guangxiao is still very weak,which is not consistent with his due historical status.A brief analysis of his historical achievements and deserved historical status,and a brief analysis of his downplayed and ugly reasons and aspects are to be studied in this paper.
