明代宗学设置时间考辨

关于明代宗学开始正式设置的时间,目前学术界看法不一,有"嘉靖九年六月说"、"嘉靖二十四年说"。通过考证认为,"嘉靖九年六月说"、"嘉靖二十四年说"皆无法成立。明代宗学的设置经历了一个过程,嘉靖初至嘉靖四十三年是明代宗学设置的探讨阶段,嘉靖四十四年,明政府将设置宗学写入《宗藩条例》,以法规的形式固定下来,确立为国家制度,然至隆庆三年,这一制度才开始得到逐步落实。明代宗学于隆庆三年开始正式设置。

A Study of the Time of Establishing the Royal Clan Education in the Ming Dynasty

For the exact time of establishing the royal clan education in the Ming Dynasty,researchers have different suggestions,including "the June of the third year of Jiajing" and "the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing".Through our research,the paper supports neither "the June of the third year of Jiajing" nor "the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing".The foundation of the royal clan education in the Ming Dynasty has gone through a process,with exploratory stage spanning between the start of Jiajing and the 43th year,and establishment in the 44th year of Jiajing when the government wrote the foundation of royal clan education into Suzerain Vassal Ordinance so that it was decreed in laws and established as a national system.However,it was not until the third year of Longqing that the system began to be progressively implemented.And it was in that year that the royal clan education system was completely set up.
