《錢箋杜詩》舉引《升菴詩話》考

In the period of the late - Ming明and early - Qing清dynasty, one can observe a vital change in academic atmosphere: the adoption of a concrete and open mind in conducting academic research which finally led to the flourish of textual research. This change in academic atmosphere can trace its origin to the scholars of the middle – Ming, especially Yang Shen（Sheng’an）楊慎，升庵. His “Sheng’an Shi Hua”《升庵詩話》 criticized the ‘emptiness’ of the Ming’s academic research and had beneficial influence on many scholars. Qian Qianyi（Muzhai）錢謙益，牧齋 was among those scholars and his “Qian Jian Du Shi”《錢箋杜詩》is an outstanding work of textual research in early - Qing , which , like Yang’s work, emphasized creative and practical mind in academic research.
In “Qian Jian Du Shi”, Qian only quoted one Ming scholar’s opinions and this scholar was Yang, but, up to many people’s surprise, Qian criticized Yang harshly and never said a good word on him. Why this happened if Yang was considered to be an all-round academic? This essay will look into this question by examining the quotations of “Sheng’an Shi Hua” in “Qian Jian Du Shi” and studying the academic developments during the late - Ming and early - Qing period.

《錢箋杜詩》所援引之詩話，率唐宋著述，明人止乎《升庵詩話》，然皆盡剔抉刮垢之能事，而無一字之褒揚。本文從異文、逸句、地理、詩句箋釋四項，考釋《錢箋》之舉引《升庵詩話》，於升庵之發明，牧齋之辯證，皆重新闡述，援據立論，然後知《錢箋》之詬訿，誠非虛發。
