论成化时期万贵妃母族势力——以万氏家族墓出土的标识性文物为中心刘明杉作者简介：刘馨蓬，本名刘明杉，女。在中国社会科学院历史研究所文化史研究室从事中国古代物质文化史研究。主要研究方向是明代物质文化史，即通过破解明代绘画及各门类文物中隐藏的历史信息，揭示明代的社会文化现象和历史发展规律。摘要:本文以成化皇帝宠妃万贵妃家族墓出土的标识性文物为中心，阐释万贵妃与其弟万通、万喜、万达勾结佞臣万安、内臣梁芳等人，不仅在宫闱内戕害皇嗣，*杀纪氏，竭力易储，还通过采买宝货侵吞大量库银。又破坏国家选官制度，一些官员不由吏部铨选，而是通过接近万氏家族成员，向贵妃献宝讨取欢心，再由宪宗授予传奉官，很多不具备资质的人员走此捷径入仕。这种对国家财力的严重消耗和对选官制度的极大破坏，为明朝转入衰败埋下隐患。关键词:标示性文物;翟冠、?髻、飞鱼纹金壶OntheinfluenceofImperialConcubineWansfamilyinChenghuaperiod——ConcentratedonthelandmarkculturalrelicsunearthedfromthetombofWanfamilyAbstract:ThispaperfocusesonthesymbolicculturalrelicsunearthedfromthetomboftheimperialconcubineWan,thefavoritewomanoftheChenghuaemperor,andexplainsthatimperialconcubineWan,togetherwithWanTong,WanXiandWanDa,colludedwithWanAn,thecourtier,LiangFang,theinnerminister,notonlykilledtheemperorsheirsinthepalace,poisonedJishi,triedtochangethecandidateoftheemperor,butalsoembezzledalargeamountofsilverthroughthepurchaseofpreciousgoods.Thisgroupofpeoplealsounderminedthenationalsystemofselectingofficials.Someofficialsarenotelectedbytheofficialdepartment,butbyapproachingthemembersoftheWanfamilyandofferingtreasuretotheimperialconcubinetowinherfavor,andthentheywouldbeconferredbytheemperorXianzongtotheminister.Manyunqualifiedpeopletakethisshortcuttobe
