本文主旨在分析明代江西寧藩後人朱多𤏳（1530–1607）一生的情感轉折，一窺其在宗室身份制度與寧府謀反的歷史事實下，如何自處？朱多𤏳成長在寧府廢府後的紛爭與宗室祿米供應不足情況下，以諸葛亮為典型，欲為良臣，輔佐明主，成為宗室的楷模。但在宗藩條例禁令限制下，朱多𤏳無能考科舉，只能轉向詩文之藝，並獲得好評。然而朝廷禁令遲遲未開，再因宗正落選之故，晚年又臥病在床，以往的抱膝經世之志已棄，轉而容膝念佛。雖然在朱多𤏳逝世前一年科考禁令開放，但此時的他早已無心也無力。透過分析朱多𤏳的情感轉移，一窺藩府文化下的宗室心理與生命情調，寫實出不同以往宗室既定光鮮亮麗印象的另一面。

This paper aims to analyze the emotional shifts in the life of Zhu Duohui (1530- 1607), a descendant of the vassal clan of the Ning fief during the Ming Dynasty. It explores how he navigated his identity as a royal family member in the context of the historical reality of the Ning fief’s rebellion. Zhu Duohui grew up amidst the disputes that followed the abolition of the Ning fief, a time when his family’s stipend was insufficient. He aspired to emulate the example of Zhuge Liang, desiring to be a virtuous minister who could assist the Ming rulers and serve as a model for other royal descendants. However, due to the restrictive regulations imposed on members of the imperial clan, Zhu Duohui was unable to participate in the imperial examinations and turned instead to literature and poetry, earning high praise for his work. But because the restrictions on imperial clan members were not lifted and because he failed to secure a position as the chamberlain of the imperial clan, Zhu also fell ill in his later years. His earlier aspirations to serve the state faded, leaving him only able to seek solace in Buddhist meditation. Although the restrictions on the imperial examinations were lifted a year before his death, Zhu had already lost both the motivation and energy to pursue a degree. Through an analysis of Zhu Duohui’s emotional journey, this study reveals the psychological and existential aspects of life within an imperial fief, offering a more nuanced portrayal of the imperial family and one that contrasts with the typical image of opulence and prestige.
