周京,字雨郇,號向山,江南江寧府上元縣人;生於明末天啟六年(1626),卒年當在清初康熙四十二年(1703)之後;工詩文,操選政,懂醫術,廣游幕,喜交友,在明末清初的金陵文人圈中頗為活躍。現存著作包括選輯兩部附有自稿的詩文選本——《近代詩鈔》和《向山近鈔尺牘小品》;編校刊刻了兩部明代醫學著作——《醫林繩墨大全》和《活幼心法大全》。囿於文獻資料的匱乏,清代以來的研究者對於金陵周京的評述多有錯訛之處。茲從其人、其作和游幕經歷三方面略作考辨梳理,並冀望還原明末清初普通文人的生存境遇。
Zhou Jing (courtesy name Yuxun, pseudonym Xiangshan) was born in Shangyuan County in Jiangning Prefecture in the sixth year of the Tianqi reign (1626). According to the inference of academic circles, the date of his death should be after the forty-second year of the Kangxi reign (1703). He was very active in the circle of the Jinling literati in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, because he was proficient in literary creation and medical skills, fond of sociality, and active in his career as an advisor of local officials and literary selector. Existing books include two selected works (Jindai shichao and Xiangshan jinchao chidu xiaopin), which include both poems and prose, and two medical books (Yilin shengmo daquan and Huoyou xinfa daquan), which are both adapted from previous medical literature. Owing to the lack of materials, there have been many mistakes in the reviews of Zhou Jing by researchers since the Qing Dynasty. This paper aims at restoring the living circumstances of ordinary literati in the middle of the seventeenth century by analyzing Zhou Jing’s life, works, and career.
