《张居正》:改革的辩证法

《Zhang Ju-zheng》:Reformational Dialectics

熊召政的《张居正》使我们有可能借助于一个虚构性的文本来思考关于改革的话题。对于改革家的张居正而言,何以“成于改革,毁于改革”?对于由张居正所推动的这场改革运动来说,又何以“成于张居正,毁于张居正”?这里是否包含着千百年来困扰中国改革的死结?《张居正》揭示了张居正改革最终未能完成制度性的设计,使体制有一种自我适应和调整的能力,而仅仅依赖于体制内个人的良知与威权,则难免失败的命运。

The novel 《Zhang Ju-zheng》 Written by Xiong Zhao-zheng helps us to think the theme about reform topics of a fictional text. For Zhang Ju-zheng as a reformer, why did he succeed and fail in reform？ For the reform implemented by Zhang Ju-zheng, why did it succeed and fail related with Zhang Ju-zheng？ Whether it embodies the Chinese reform which had been nagged for thousand of years？ 《Zhang Ju-zheng》 told us that Zhang Ju-zheng＇s reform didnt complete system atical design and made it have ability to adapt and adjust itself, while it was hard to avoid to fail if it only depended on personal conscience and power.
