Zhou Bida's Siling Lu And The Political Situation Of The Late Years Of Chunxi

Siling Lu(?????)is a diary of Zhou Bida(???)and an important historical material for studying the political situation in the Late Years of Chunxi(??).This article is based on Siling Lu and discusses four chapters.The first chapter examines the source of Zhou Bida's collection and corrects the wrong judgment of the researchers.This chapter also discusses the basic situation and value of the three editions of Zhou Bida in the Ming Dynasty.In addition,it also discusses the circulation of the single book of Siling Lu and the problem that the present book was intentionally modified during the editing.The second chapter discusses a series of events caused by the death of Song Gaozong(???).From the end of the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Chunxi to the spring of the 16th year,the relationship between Song Xiaozong(???)and the Minister was not harmonious.The relationship between Song Xiaozong and Song Guangzong(???)was also very tense.The government is therefore not united,and the political ideal of Song Xiaozong is in such a political environment,broken with its abdication.The third chapter demonstrates the political struggle in the late Chunxi Dynasty through a number of textual research.The reason why Wang Huai was able to be prime minister was first because his military ability was very high and he was appreciated by Song Xiaozong;secondly,he was supported by the scholar-officials;finally he was also supported by the crown prince.The process of political struggle between Wang Huai and Zhou Bida in order to compete for the position of prime minister is very complicated.In this regard,this article has new perspectives.The first section of Chapter 4 describes the Song Gaozong funeral items.The second part focuses on Hong Mai's and Yang Wanli's arguments about which deceased minister can be sacrificed together with Song Gaozong.
