Tan Xian and Hubei Jingxin Academy: A Piece of History of Academies in the Late Qing Dynasty

谭献一生与晚清的多个书院存在关联,其中尤以湖北经心书院为著。光绪十六年,受湖广总督张之洞聘请,开始掌教经心书院,至光绪二十一年十二月辞去,前后长达六年。在现存稿本《复堂日记》中,便详细记录了谭献掌教经心书院期间的考课日程及历次课题。通过日常的考课与往来,谭献培育并影响了众多的青年士子。以受业弟子而论,姓氏可考者即有186人之多,其中较为知名者有甘鹏云、周贞亮、陈曾寿、陈宧等,藉此可考见其学术影响及其在晚清书院史上的地位。
