本文皆在透過嘉靖本與全書本兩種王陽明(1472-1529)《年譜》內容差異的對勘與分析，指出以錢德洪(1496-1574)為主導的陽明弟子修改《年譜》的動作是為了讓陽明能夠從花於孔廟。前後《年譜》內容更動的考量標準，來自於明初薛瑄(1389-1464)與陳獻章(1428-1500)從祀的不同標準，並針對時人非議的層面，進而修改嘉靖本所陳述之陽明「事功」、「學術」與「行履」等方面的樣貌，使全書本中的陽明成為合於當時從把標準的「真儒」。

This article compares two editions of Wang Yangming's王陽明 (1472-1529) chronicle (年譜nianpu). The nianpu included in the later Complete Works (王交成公全書) was edited by Wang's pupil, Qian Dehong錢德洪 (1496-1574), in order to allow his master the honor of having his tablet placed in the Confucian temple for sacrificial rites. The two different nianpu were each compiled in accordance with the current accepted standards; in order to extricate his master from contemporary criticism, Qian altered the earlier Jiajing嘉靖, version's account of Wang's achievements, scholarship and career, in order to bring the man described in the Complete Works into line with the contemporary standard for a "true" Confucian master.
