e-考据时代的新曹学研究:以曹振彦生平为例

在曹雪芹家族移居辽东的先祖当中,曹振彦最为人所知。曹振彦奠定了曹氏约百年的风光家业,唯先前对其生平事迹的论述仍有许多讹漏之处。透过数位数据库以及满文档案等,曹振彦所任教官、致政、旗鼓的位阶与职掌,其入关后的科名、历官以及所属佐领等事,均可获得较深入的看法。振彦与其父辈或在天启元年沈阳城破时被俘归旗成为包衣;初应隶正黄旗,后归新旗主多尔衮,十一年八月随多尔衮改旗而隶镶白旗。先后任教官、致政、旗鼓(长史)等职,顺治元年之前,或遭缘事革退。清朝入主中原之初,曹振彦举家迁往北京,于顺治三年受田顺天府宝坻县之西。稍后因考取八旗贡士而得以东山再起,七年获授山西平阳府吉州知州;八年二月,因多尔衮被追论削爵,正白旗遂遭皇帝收归自领,曹家自此成为上三旗包衣;九年,升阳和府知府;十二年至十五年,历官至两浙都转运盐使司运使;卒年不详。曹家于清初崛起的历史图像,由此较为清晰而完备。
