清代诗人生卒年丛考——以湖北梅钺、李中黄等七位诗人为中心

Supplements on the Year of Birth and Death of Some Poets in the Qing Dynasty——Focusing on Mei Yue,Li Zhonghuang and Other Five Poets

中国古典诗歌按照加速度的原理发展,至清代而达到极度繁荣。迄今仍有作品传世的清代诗人,少说也在十万人以上,超过此前历代诗人总和的若干倍。但他们的生卒年,目前能够现成查到的,仅仅只有很少的一部分。日后像编纂《全清诗》以及其他诸多诗歌文献,这都会成为一个棘手的问题。因此,在学术界既有的相关工具书之外,从各种原始资料不断补充考察清代诗人生卒年,的确很有必要。这里就湖北梅钺、李中黄,浙江张懋忠、钟氏(海宁徐濬妻),河南郜献珂,山东刘士聪,云南李凤彩,以及江苏易震吉等诗人,对他们的生卒年做些探讨。

Classic Chinese poems developed with time and reached ultimate prosperity in the Qing Dynasty,when the number of poets could have amounted to one hundred thousand,several times of the total number of poets from all previous dynasties combined.However,only a few of their years of birth and death can be readily ascer-tained.This will become a big problem in the future when compiling books like“A Collection of Poems in the Qing Dynasty”and many other poetry documents.Therefore,in addition to the existing reference books in this field,it is highly necessary to supplement and examine the birth and death years of poets in the Qing Dynasty based on various original materials.The paper tries to provide some supplementary records to seven poets among them,including Mei Yue and Li Zhonghuang in Hubei,Zhang Maozhong and Lady Zhong(Xu Jun’s wife)from Haining,Gao Xianke from Henan,Liu Shicong from Shandong,Li Fengcai from Yunnan,and Yi Zhenji from Jiangsu.
