晚明东林士人的宗教生活——以郭正域为例的研究

Religious Life of the Donglin Partisan in the Late Ming Dynasty--A Case Study of Guo Zhengyu

郭正域是晚明东林士人的代表,其坎坷的政治生涯与时而兴起的佛道修炼兴趣,构成了政治人物公私生活的两面。郭正域的佛道兴趣、尤其是道教兴趣,孕生于他的家庭及所处的晚明文士宗教环境,后为其调和晚明庞杂的三教关系提供了思想资源。通过对郭正域道教生活个案的考察,可以反思学界长期以来对东林士人宗教生活的刻板印象,对理解晚明东林士人丰富的精神世界或将有所启发。

Guo Zhengyu was a representative of the Donglin partisans in the late Ming Dynasty.His rough political life and the occasional interest in Buddhism and Taoism constitute two different sides of his public and private lives.Guo Zhengyu’s interest in religion,especially Taoism,was closely related to his family tradition,and later provided ideological resources for reconciling the complex relationship between the three religions in the late Ming Dynasty.The investigation of Guo’s religious life can deflect the impression of the religious life of Donglin partisans in the academic circle,and is helpful for understanding the rich spiritual world of Donglin partisans in the late Ming Dynasty.
