The Historical Writing Of Southern Ming Dynasty In The Peach Blossom Fan

Since the late Ming dynasty,the creation of operas has flourished.There have been many current events and historical dramas that reflect social reality.After entering the Qing dynasty,the adherents of former dynasty either wrote history or wrote dramas to express the thoughts of their homeland.The adherents wrote the history of Southern Ming with the faith of "reserving the history of his home country".The discourse power of the writing of Southern Ming history in the early Qing dynasty was mainly controlled by the survivors who had experienced the past in Southern Ming.As a result of the party struggle in the late Ming dynasty,in the discussion on the issue of "Reasons of Ming dynasty's doom",the adherents will also compete for the right to speak.On the other hand,after entering the Qing dynasty,the scholars had different views on the handling of Southern Ming history.These scholars acknowledged the legitimacy of Qing's right to rule,but at the same time they were influenced by the history of the adherents and could not bear to deny the legitimacy of Southern Ming.Therefore,when writing the history of Southern Ming,it will focus on interpreting the history of Southern Ming with Confucian ethics.Officials who serve the Qing are also striving to elaborate on the history of Southern Ming in order to demonstrate education and benefit the new dynasty.These two different views have a great influence on Kong Shangren's creation of Peach Blossom Fan.Kong Shangren was a descendant of Confucius.He was able to enter the official career because of Emperor Kangxi's appreciation.He was grateful to the Emperor Kangxi.During the period of Huaiyang that govern the sea,he had rejected all the adherents and praised them for their knowledge and integrity.In "Peach Blossom Fan",Kong Shangren is still self-reported for writing purposes,and the depiction of characters can not only see the impact of the history of the adherents,but also can be seen these person's position who serve Qing.After the publication of the Peach Blossom Fan,the drama poems and comments about the plays have emerged one after another.From the acceptance of the Peach Blossom Fan by writers,the writing of Southern Ming in Peach Blossom Fan have became the most representative historical memory about Southern Ming history.
