明宪宗与道教方士

成化时期,在宪宗的庇护和纵容下,道教方士在国家政务中扮演了非同一般的重要角色,左右了当时的政治发展态势,并对明代中后期的国家治理和道教的发展产生了一定的影响。本文分三个部分,从研究文献资料入手,首先对宪宗宠幸道教方士的来龙去脉、特定政治环境作了分析,其次对成化朝道教方士的各种表现与宪宗之间的关系进行了梳理,最后概括了宪宗宠幸和重用道教方士对明代中后期的消极作用和负面影响。

Emperor Chenghua & Taoist Alchemists

With the connivance and support of Emperor Chenghua(成化),the Taoist alchemists held the most unusual post to influence the political situation,which partly interfered in state affairs and Taoist development of the mid-and-later Ming dynasty.This paper probes into the historical archives to figure out the cause and effect as to how the Taoist alchemists got sheltered by Emperor Chenghua(成化),the political situation and the relationship between Emperor Chenghua(成化) and the Taoist alchemists’ activities of that period,summarizing the negative effects produced by them in history.
