陈贞詥《明乡事迹述言》及其文献价值

Tran Trinh Cap's Minh Hu'o'ng Su'Tich Thuat Ngon and their literature value

“明乡人”是越南华侨华人中特殊的群体,一般包含两层含义:狭义上是指越南京族内的一群华人后裔;广义上是指明清以来华人与越南人通婚所形成的混血儿。①明乡人在明清易代时期形成,其后长期存在于越南社会之中,与越南政府互动,推动当地社会经济发展,又对中越邦交关系产生巨大影响,亦影响到越南与柬埔寨、泰国等国的关系。自明清鼎革之后,部分明朝遗民既不愿剃发易服,又不甘做“贰臣”,因而选择流亡域外。越南是其主要流寓之地,到达越南之后,与当地政权合作是其能立足当地的不二选择,否则只能像大儒朱舜水一般,即便在会安寓居12年之久还要再次迁徙。
