唐文治与清末商政

Tang Wenzhi and the Commercial Policy in Late Qing Dynasty

清末“新政”时期,唐文治以朝廷倚重的“干员”身份参与新立商部暨农工商部的商政变革。他通过拟上奏折,借助朝廷推力加强各地实业兴办的筹划和管理;通过促设商会,借助民间结社厚聚推动民族经济发展的主体力量;通过创办实业,借助经济实体的样板作用以开全国风气之先。他的所作所为的时代意义,有助于商人社会地位的提高、民族资本经济的发展、国家经济利权的保护。然而正值自己政坛事业如日中天之际,他却与朝廷作了彻底的“买断”,由此留下一个值得后人探研的课题。

In late Qing Dynasty, Tang Wenzhi, a personage of royal government relied, was deputed to reform the commercial policy and constitute the Department of Commerce. He presented memorial to the throne; recurred the royal government's strength and designed and manage the countrywide commerce; constituted chamber of commerce, recurred civilian principal strength to impulse the national economy; founded his own industry; recurred its normal strength to arouse more subsequence. All these measures made for heightening the merchant social class, developing the ethical capitalist economy, protecting the national economic rights. At the summit of his power in official, he decisively chose to keep aloof from royal government, leaving us a question deserved to research.
