摘要:本文从明孝宗的婚姻入手，对明孝宗实行一夫一妻制的真实性进行探讨。文章通过相关资料间的相互应证以及史料的可靠性，对査继佐、毛奇龄、傅维麟在撰述史书中记载孝宗有其他妃嫔的观点进行了考证，得出的结论是孝宗确实为一夫一妻制的践行者。同时，本文亦从三个方面，即孝宗坎坷的成长经历、深厚的儒学修养以及大臣谢迁的建议，分析了明孝宗实行一夫一妻制的原因，并阐述了其行为对政治格局的影响。

中国古代的皇帝，呈现给现代人最普遍的印象可以说是“后宫佳丽三千”。婚姻方面，中国古代的数百位皇帝中，明孝宗朱祐樘是较为特立独行的。《中国皇帝全书》记载道：“朱祐樘与张皇后的感情相当好，自成婚之后始终相爱，别无内宠。”《明史》的《后妃列传》中，孝宗的后妃只提及张皇后一人。因此明孝宗被主流观点赞为中国古代唯一践行一夫一妻制的皇帝。赞者有之，疑者有之，究竟明孝宗是不是一夫一妻制的实践者呢？如若确实如此，为何孝宗皇帝如此行事呢？
