“五四”时期两种整理国故活动的比较

A Comparative Study of the Two Schools of National Cultural Heritage Sorting in the May 4th Movement Period

五四时期整理国故的潮流中有两股势力,一为以胡适、顾颉刚为代表的新文化人士,一为以梁启超、柳诒徵、顾实为代表的文化保守主义人士。双方在整理国故的目的、方法和态度上有明显的不同。在目的上,前者更注重揭示国故真相,进而批判国故;后者更注重“保存国粹”、“扬我国光”、“翊进世运”。在方法和态度上,前者提倡训诂、考据的汉学风格,追求“为学术而作工夫”的研究态度;而后者却更注重阐发义理的宋学风格,倾向于“学问之非为学问,必有益于社会国家。”

There were two schools of sorters of national cultural heritage during the May 4th Movement period, one represented by Hu Shi and the other by Liang Qichao. The former being an advocate of the new culture and the latter a cultural conservative, they differed greatly in objective, method and attitude in the sorting of the heritages. The first school focused on disclosing the truth from a critical approach, and the second on preserving and uplifting the national quintessence.
