元明之际克新的诗文书写与自我表达

Poetic Writing and Self-Expression of Ke Xin during the Yuan-Ming Transition

摘要: 克新是元末明初活跃于东南文坛与禅林的一位诗僧，早年掌书记于大龙翔集庆寺，入明后奉诏出使西域，然此后行踪无考，卒年不明。克新自号“江左外史”，在易代的政治动荡中，其诗作表面营造了方外超脱之象，实则通过典故意象等寄寓对故元的追怀与对新朝的疏离，并流露出对世道凋敝与战乱现实的深切忧愤。克新在此时所作的诗文，折射出他在易代之际仕隐两难的处境与遗民心态。

Abstract: Ke Xin (克新) was a poet-monk active in the literary and Buddhist circles of southeastern China during the late Yuan and early Ming periods. In his early years, he served as a secretary at the Dalongxiang Jiqing Temple in Nanjing. After the founding of the Ming dynasty, he was commissioned to travel westward, but his subsequent movements remain unknown, and his date of death is uncertain. Ke Xin styled himself “Jiangzuo Wai Shi”, and amid the political upheaval of dynastic change, his poetry outwardly portrayed an image of transcendent detachment from worldly affairs. Yet beneath this surface, through allusions and symbolic imagery, he expressed deep nostalgia for the fallen Yuan dynasty and emotional distance from the new regime, while also revealing profound sorrow and indignation over the decay of society and the chaos of war. The poems and writings Ke Xin composed during this period reflect his inner conflict between official service and seclusion, as well as the mindset of a loyal remnant of the old dynasty.
