摘要：建功臣庙、绘制功臣像是古代君王表彰有功之臣、纪实铭勋的一种褒奖方式，元明之际，明太祖继承汉、唐为功臣绘像的传统，先后在江西鄱阳康郎山、南昌和南京鸡笼山建立忠臣祠、功臣庙并图绘功臣。作为宫廷艺术，功臣像被赋予高度的政治内涵。明清文人对明代功臣庙及功臣像的文学书写体现在三个方面：对被祭祀和绘像功臣的艳羡和向往、感慨开国功臣命运的无常和在功臣庙、功臣像遗址寄寓“故国之思”。

Title: Meritorious Ministers Portraits During the Yuan to Ming Dynasty and Literary Writings
Abstract: The establishment of merit-official temples and portraits of the meritorious were ways in which ancient monarchs commended those with outstanding contributions and recorded their achievements. During the Yuan to Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of Ming inherited the tradition of painting portraits for meritorious officials from the Han and Tang dynasties. He successively built shrines for loyal officials and temples for meritorious figures, and commissioned portraits of them at Kanglang Mountain in Poyang, Nanchang in Jiangxi, and Jilong Mountain in Nanjing. As a form of court art, portraits of meritorious officials were endowed with profound political connotations. Literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties produced literary writings on the Ming Dynasty merit-official temples and their portraits, which were reflected in three aspects: admiration and yearning for the honored officials enshrined and portrayed; lamentation over the unpredictable fates of the founding meritorious officials; and expression of nostalgia for the former dynasty at the sites of merit-official temples and portraits.
