龚鼎孳是明末清初的重要人物。明清易代,他因两度失节备受诟病。其实,龚鼎孳并非不顾臣纪人伦之徒,在国变之时他有过求死之为与南逃之举,他也因失节而背负着沉重的精神枷锁。龚鼎孳是明清之际士人群体悲剧之缩影,他的遭际与心态具有典型意义。 Gong Dingzui is an important figure in the Ming and early Qing dynasties. Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was twice as unfit for being much criticized. In fact, Gong Ding-Kui was not a disciple who ignored all his disciples. In the time of the Kuomintang he had tried his best to kill him and escaped from the south. He was also burdened with heavy spiritual shackles because of his disinterestedness. Gong Dingzui is a microcosm of the tragedy of scholar groups during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. His misfortune and mentality are of typical significance.
