何景明奉使南方之行迹探析

The Research on the Travel Trajectory of He jingming during His Mission to the South

弘治十八年(1505),前七子代表人物何景明奉使南方。此次出使与明代中叶中央政权对边省地区政治及文化管控的逐步加强密切相关,在一定程度上反映了当时的社会政治生态。明清以来,不乏对何景明奉诏南行的载录,但文献大多简略,且相互间分歧较大;关于何景明南行的行迹,学界亦有少量研究,缺乏全面、准确和深入的研究,甚至有较多错谬。何景明南行期间创作了百余篇诗文,内容涉及湖北、湖南、贵州、云南、四川等地区的自然风光、名胜古迹、风土人情与社会发展现状,这是明代中期南方社会的实录,具有珍贵历史价值。这些诗文,清晰地再现了何景明历时一年的南行轨迹,有助于何景明研究、明代文学与南方历史地理研究的进一步发展。

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi(1505),the emperor died.He Jingming was ordered to go to the south.It was the Mid-Ming dynasty.The central government gradually strengthened the political and cultural control of the frontier provinces,which reflected the strategies and effects of frontier governance in the Ming dynasty.And to a certain extent,it reflects the social and political ecology of the time.Since the Ming and Qing dynasties,there has been no shortage of records of He Jingming's southbound journey,but most of the documents are brief and divergent from each other.There have been some studies on He Jingming's southbound journey,but there are many errors in it.There has been a lack of comprehensive,accurate and in-depth research on He Jingming's southbound journey.He Jingming wrote more than a hundred poems during his south trip,covering the natural scenery,historical sites,customs and social development in Hubei,Hunan,Guizhou,Yunnan,Sichuan and other regions.This is a record of southern society in the Mid-Ming dynasty.It has precious historical value.Through these poems and articles,He Jingming's one-year journey to the south can be clearly sorted out,which is conducive to the further development of the study of he Jingming,the literature of Ming dynasty and the historical geography of the south.
