太平天国时期卫道士群体理念与实践考察

A Study of Apologists' Ideology and its Practice in the Period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

19世纪 5 0年代至 6 0年代 ,由于太平天国运动的影响 ,阶级对抗一时胜过民族矛盾 ,并成为中国社会各阶层关注之焦点。封建士大夫们出于自身前途与阶级命运的考虑 ,纷纷举旗“卫道” ,其卫道理念大体表现为如下三个层面 :以政治效忠相砥砺 ,维护封建统治秩序 ;以儒学纲常伦理抗拒“异端”思想———拜上帝教 ;标榜理学经世 ,究心军务 ,以投身屠杀异己的“卫道”实践。

Class antagonism outweighed national contradiction due to the impact of the Taiping Revolution during the decade long period after the every social stratum.The feudal scholar officials were all out to defend traditional moral principles out of the consideration of their own future and the destiny of their class.Their ideology could be expressed along the following three dimensions:They encouraged each other's political loyalty and maintained feudal ruling order.They refused heretical beliefs of God Worshipers Society which went against Confucianism.And they flaunted the banner of Neo Confucianism and devoted themselves to military affairs in order to begin their apologetical practice by butchering dissidents.
