秦桧与绍兴文坛的谀颂之风

南宋绍兴文坛的谀颂之风是特指阿谀秦桧之作而言的,为秦桧歌功颂德之作数量的巨大与吹捧程度的露骨,是其主要表现。谀颂之风的背后,固然从一个侧面反映了特定时期的社会心理:即南渡士人重见中兴的期望,但究其产生的本质原因,绍兴文坛的谀颂之风,实际上是文字狱的另一面。阿谀秦桧与文字狱都是秦桧作为权相的特征,两者有着很深的连带关系,是同一根源的文化现象,前者是秦桧欲附己而发,后者是秦桧因排异而起。

Qin Hui and the Flattering Literary World in Shaoxing

Flattering Qin Hui is the characteristic of the literary world in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. There were so many works that flattered Qin Hui. Behind the flattery, there were many reasons. The most important one was literary inquisition. At the same time, flattery indicated the mentality of that particular society, i.e., people in Shaoxing desired the flourishing of the country. In a word, flattery and literary inquisition were the characteristics of Qin Hui's times. These two things were closely related.
