当年刚主师在世的时候,曾经对我讲起他做《明末清初的学风》缘起,明清社会骤变中的文人士大夫们创立的学术风气,既是时代产物,亦为时代之导向,刚主师因此说:元末明初的学风,也不失一有趣的题目。他在《明清笔记谈丛》中谈及叶子奇《草木子》时,即已有所思,并引苏遇龙序云:“独怪草木子与郁离子(刘基)同郡、龙门子(宋濂)同时,而显晦迥别,天将各有以位焉。”当时我随先师初习明史,求于对明初制度的一知半解,尝试之而知实无成此研究之能力。先师殁后,为求发扬对其学术的传承,又将治学的方向转为晚明,对于明初的研究日渐荒疏,先师布置的题目,竟终未能完成。 When the main teacher was alive, I once told him that he was the origin of “the style of study in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.” The scholarship created by the literati and physicians in the sudden social change in the Ming and Qing dynasties was both a product of the times and a guide to the times, Just master therefore said: Yuan Dynasty and early Ming’s style of study, but also without losing an interesting topic. When he talked about Yeziqi “Memozi” in the “Notes on the Ming and Qing Dynasties,” he thought of Su Yulong and said: “Weird grass and Yu ion (Liu Ji), the same county, Longmenzi (Song 濂) at the same time, but obviously different, the days will have their place Yan. ”" At that time I followed the teacher first Ming Dynasty, seeking a little knowledge of the system in the early Ming, try and know nothing of this research ability . After the first division, in order to carry forward its academic heritage, but also the direction of the scholarship to the late Ming, the study of the early Ming gradually deserted, the problem of the first division layout, actually failed to complete.
