北宋隐士词人潘阆生平考索

潘阆是宋初著名隐士、词人、诗人。他的事迹一向湮没无闻,史乘所载,时相矛盾。经考订,知潘阆一生颇富传奇色彩,常以卖药为生。为人疏狂放荡,虽是隐士,却热衷功名,喜结交宫廷权贵,先后两次卷入宫廷皇位斗争,两遭缉捕,一次入狱。太宗时曾任国子助教,可没几天就被撤职。真宗时做过闲散的州参军。平生与柳开、王禹偁等友善,多有唱和。

A Biographical Study of Pan Lang the Hermit Poet of Northern Song Period

Pan Lang was the famous hermit and poet in the early Northern Song period. His deeds have always fallen into oblivion, and the narrations in historical records have been contradictory. Through the textual research, we can know that Pan Lang had lived a legendary life, always earning a living by selling medicines. He had an unrestrained disposition, yet hankered fame and position though as a hermit. He was fond of associating with the influential officials, and was twice involved into the struggles upon imperial powers, being arrested twice and sent to jail once. He once held a post of assistant teacher in the Imperial College during the Tai-zu’s period, but was discharged in only several days. Then during the Zhen-zong’s period, he acted as a leisurely staff officer. He was friendly with Liu Kai and Wang Yucheng, and there had been a great deal of exchanges of poems among them.
