Abstract

The Ming Dynasty imposed all-encompassing restrictions upon its princely population. Princes were effectively barred from participation in dynastic politics, from entering the civil service examinations in pursuit of office, and from undertaking common livelihoods. Many princes thus turned to alternative means of fulfilment or drifted toward dissolution; Zhu Yousi, an ambitious prince in Huguang Province, strove to function beyond these constraints. This article recounts his life and relationship with the Ming princely institution. It first studies his engagement with the Jiajing Emperor during the Great Ritual Controversy in 1521 and his advocacy for princes’ socio-economic freedom. It then examines his downfall in 1525 as well as the events which occasioned his redemption in 1539. Overall, this article situates Zhu Yousi’s story not only within narratives concerning Ming princes and their political activities, but also within an expanding corpus of scholarship which challenges traditional caricatures of princely debauchery.

朱有思:《16世纪中国明朝一位王子的生平与时代》

明朝对其王室人口实行了全面的限制。王子们实际上被禁止参与王朝政治，被禁止为谋求官职而参加公务员考试，也被禁止从事公共生活。因此，许多君主转向其他满足的方式，或走向解散;朱有思，一个雄心勃勃的湖广王子，努力超越这些限制。本文叙述了他的生平以及他与明朝王室的关系。它首先研究了他在1521年大礼之争期间与嘉靖皇帝的交往，以及他对王子社会经济自由的倡导。然后考察了1525年他的垮台以及1539年促使他获得救赎的事件。总体而言，本文不仅将朱有思的故事置于关于明朝王侯及其政治活动的叙事中，而且还将其置于一个不断扩大的学术文集中，这一文集挑战了传统的王侯放荡的漫画。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
