四库馆臣评价唐庚之考辨
A Textual Research of Comments on TANG Geng by Ministers of Library in the Four Branches of Literature
-
摘要: 《四库全书总目》在评价唐庚及其与苏轼、苏辙关系上,颇多失实之处。这源于包括四库馆臣在内的清人对唐庚、苏轼以及张商英三人关系的不当认识。清人对于北宋末宰辅、新党人物张商英与苏轼的过节颇有微词,而唐庚受知于张商英,故臆断唐庚于苏轼不恭。事实上,唐庚尽管对张商英执弟子之礼,但其政治主张有其独立品格,文艺思想紧随苏轼,是苏轼身后力扛元祐文学旗帜的重要作家。唐庚的正直人品和文学成就使他无愧于“小东坡”之雅号。Abstract: In General Category of Library in the Four Branches of Literature, there exist some mistakes concerning the comments on the relationships between TANG Geng and SU Shi and SU Zhe. This arose from the misunderstanding of the relationships among TANG Geng, SU Shi and ZHANG Shang-ying by people in Qing Dynasty including ministers compiling the huge work. People of Qing Dynasty had much blame on the Prime Minister and New Party member of the late Northern Song Dynasty ZHANG Shang-ying who found the talent TANG Geng. Therefore, they assumed TANG had not respected SU. As a matter of fact, though TANG took ZHANG as his teacher, his political standing had its unique attributes and his literary thoughts followed closely those of SU. He was an important writer after SU who lifted the flag of Yuanyou literature. TANG's up-right personality and literary achievements won him the title “Little SU Dong-po”.
