元代缁衣黄冠的道士群体中,不乏有成就的文人学者,朱思本就是其中之一。明吴宽在朱思本《贞一稿》后跋中云:“故元文章之盛,虽方外道流亦有其人。”认为朱思本所著诗文,“尤为精深”。其实,他还是一位杰出的地理学家和梵文翻译家。阮元《四库未收书目提要》认为,中国地图“计里开方之法,至思本而始备。” 日本学者内藤虎次郎说朱思本的《舆地图》“为数百年来中国地理学界之权威。”（见《国立北平图书馆馆刊》七卷二号,吴晗译）《元史·地理志·河源附录》讲到朱思本精通梵文,曾以“华文”译梵字地理图书。但这样一位很有成就的道士,因正史无传,其事迹又不见方志记载,所以至今鲜为人知,这实在是学术界的一件憾事。 一 朱思本字本初,号贞一,江西临川人。他在一首诗的题目中云:“至大四年辛亥（1311）,予年三十九。”由此推知,本初当生于南宋咸淳九年（1273）,即元世祖至元十年。他的祖父曾做过南宋的地方官。欧阳应丙《朱炼师文集序》云:“本初大父以科举仕宋,至淮阴宰。”刘有庆、吴全节在《贞一稿序》中讲到他的家庭出身,或云“故礼义家”,或云他为“儒家子”。可见他是出生在一个南宋下层官吏的知识分子家庭。 朱思本从小受到良好的儒家思想教育,后来虽然做了道士,但儒家思想几乎左右着? Zhu Yuanben was one of many accomplished scholars and scholars among the Taoist priests in the Yuan Dynasty. Ming Wu Kuan in Zhu Sizi “Zhen a manuscript” Postscript in the cloud: “The story of Sheng Yuan, although the party also has its own way.” Think of Zhu Siwen’s poetry, “is particularly profound.” In fact, he is also an outstanding geographer and Sanskrit translator. Ruan Yuan, “Four Treasuries Unreceived Bibliography,” argues that the Chinese map reads: “The method of counting the basics in the beginning and the beginning of the course of thinking.” Japanese scholar Naito Shiro said Zhu Si-ben’s “map of geography” was the authority of the Chinese geography community for centuries. “(See” National Peiping Library, “Volume VII, Wu Han translation)” Yuan Shi Geography Chihiro Heyuan Appendix “refers to Zhu Siwen proficient in Sanskrit, had” Chinese “to translate the word Geographical Books. However, such a highly accomplished Taoist priest has not yet been well known for his history. His deeds have not been recorded in any chronicle and so little remains known so far. This is really a pity in academia. A Zhu Si this word early, Zhen a, Jiangxi Linchuan people. He wrote in the title of a poem: ”As late as four years Xinhai (1311), year thirty-nine.“ Thus deduced, originally born in the southern Song Xian Chun nine years (1273), that is, ten years. His grandfather had been a local officer in the Southern Song Dynasty. Ouyang Ying Bing ”Zhu Lian Shi anthology“ cloud: ”The beginning of the eldest father to the Imperial Examination Shi Song, to Huaiyin slaughter.“ Liu Youqing, Wu Quanjie in ”Zhen Yi manuscripts,“ mentioned his family background, or cloud ” “, Or cloud him as” Confucian. " It is obvious that he was born in a family of intellectuals under the Southern Song Dynasty. Since his childhood, Zhu Si-ben was well educated by Confucianism and later became a Taoist priest, but what about Confucianism?
