永贞改革面面观

Aspects of Yongzhen Reformation

永贞改革是唐顺宗授意和领导的政治革新事业。王叔文集团在实行改革的过程中,既忠实地贯彻了顺宗的意图,采取了一系列利国利民的重大措施,又利用顺宗所赋予的权力,在组织方面塞进了许多党同伐异的私货。他们在思想舆论方面更是鼓吹祥瑞天命,利用神权迷信巩固政权。只有从政治、组织和思想等多方面来深入分析,才能充分了解永贞改革的全貌,避免片面性和简单化的弊病。

Yongzhen reformation is a political renovation project inspired and led by Emperor Shun Zong of Tang Dynasty. Wang Shuwen Group carried out Shunzong's order devotedly in the process of reformation and adopted a series of important measures which benefited both the country and the people. Meanwhile, by using the power given by Shun Zong, they foisted into many contrabands in the organization as they preached on auspicious signs from the Heaven in ideology and tried to use the power of divinity and superstition to consolidate the regime. Only thorough analyses from the aspects of politic, organization and thought, can we understand the panorama of Yongzhen reformation fully, and avoid the malady of one-sidedness and simplification.
