摘要
自孙中山去世后,中国国民党围绕领导权的继承问题,引发无数次的党内分裂。导致这一现象的因素很多,其中地域观念在国民党派系冲突中扮演着重要角色。国民党发迹于广东,也造就了大批粤籍党国领袖。孙中山生前在有意无意间扩大了粤籍党员同他省党员间的矛盾。随着国民党从广东走向全国,特别是蒋介石在党内权力的不断提高,蒋同粤籍领袖之间的矛盾日益扩大,国民党内部的派系纠纷逐渐演变成公开的武装冲突。
It is commonly agreed among researchers of the history of the Chinese Nationalist Party （KMT） that the politics of the Nationalist Party is characterized by factionalism. Interestingly, behind such factionalism lie ＂regional connections＂： those who were capable of being Chiang Kai-shek＇s rivals for the leadership of the party all came from Guangdong. They enjoyed long-established positions in the party, although they might be different from, or even opposed to, each other in ideological terms. They were ＂dissatisfied＂ with Chiang who belonged to a younger generation and had risen through military power, and ＂unwilling to submit.＂ As Chen Zhirang commented in his analysis of the political conflicts during the Republican era, ＂factionalism was closely related to Chinese traditional culture＂.1 Regional connections may be one of its many manifestations. This article means to study the regional connections of the Cantonese leaders in factional conflicts.
