南明史料是指南社爱国诗人柳亚子先生在抗战中潜心写作《南明史纲》的手稿和相关史籍资料。1939年夏,柳亚子愤于日寇全面侵华,决心以死相抗。他有感于国家已到生死存亡的紧要关头,与南明的历史有着诸多相似之处,为砥砺全民誓死抗战的决心,他把自己在上海的居所命名为“活埋庵” The historical materials of Nanming refer to the manuscripts and related historical records of Nan Yaoming poet Mr. Liu Yazi who devoted himself to the history of Nanming during the war of resistance against Japan. In the summer of 1939, Liu Yazi was indignant at the Japanese invaders’ total invasion of China and their determination to fight deadly. He felt that the country had reached the end of its life and death and had many similarities with the history of Nanming. In order to promote the determination of the entire people to vouch for their war of resistance against Japan, he named his residence in Shanghai “Living Buried Um”
