《诗人主客图》所载诗人杨乘墓志及其文献价值

The Epitaph of Yang Cheng in The Poet Hosts and Its Literature Value

杨乘为晚唐《诗人主客图》所载诗人,有关其资料传世文献所载甚少。新近发现的《杨乘墓志》记载的杨乘信息非常丰富,可以补充杨乘名字、生卒年、里籍、世系等生平资料;据所载科第和历官信息,可以确定中第时间及大部分官职的任职时间;所载杨乘文学才能及文学创作情况,展现了杨乘的文学实绩,对于理解杨乘文学风格及入选《诗人主客图》的原因有极大帮助。

Though Yang Cheng is a poet recorded in the Zhang Wei’s The Poet Hosts in the late Tang Dynasty,there are few documents about him. The newly discovered Epitaph of Yang Cheng records a wealth of information about his name,birth,death,native place,lineage and other biographical materials. According to the information,we can determine the time of him passing the imperial examination and most of his official positions. His literary ability, career and achievements prove that this epitaph is of great significance for understanding Yang Cheng’s literary style and the reasons why he was selected into The Poet Hosts.
