梁启超对中国近代历史教育的贡献

Liang Qi-chao's Contributions to the Modern Chinese Historical Education

民族危机孕育了梁启超自觉的历史教育意识,推动他开拓了近代历史教育的道路。梁启超以“新民”和提供“国民资治通鉴”为目的,以近代报刊为推行历史教育的主要手段,将丰富的历史内容和近代观念传达给国人,以期实现救亡图存的目标。这种历史教育思想孕育着中国近代历史教育的雏形,顺应了中国社会与中国史学走向近代的要求。虽然它还有一定的历史局限性,但也显示了很高的社会价值。正是从这个意义上说,梁启超是中国近代历史教育的开拓者。

National crisis fostered Liang Qichao＇s consciousness of historical-education and pushed him to exploit modern Chinese historical education. Taking ＇modern civilized people＇ and providing ＇historical experience of the masses＇ as the aims, the modern presses as the main measures, Liang Qichao transferred to the subject abundant history and modern ideas. The purpose of his acts was to save the nation and the country. This kind of thoughts on historical education contained the rudiments of modern Chinese historical education, conformed to the requirements of Chinese society and history when these two were on the way to modern time. Although this thought could not avoid some historical limits, it showed considerable social value. It is from this point of view that we consider Liang Qichao as the pioneer in the modern Chinese historical education.
