刘铭传“性不耐官”析

Liu Mingchuan and indifference to officialdom

由淮军部将出身而无科举功名的刘铭传,不但较快地擢升提督,而且终得获任巡抚,这样的仕途履历,对他来说不能不说幸运,但他并不坚意于居官,其间屡有乞归退隐之时。透过表象,察其真情实因,可知既与其人的性格特征分不开,也和他特定的身份条件相关联,还有着具体境遇诱因的作用。明晰于此,对认识其人以及连带地了解相关情势,当是一个有意义的侧面。

Liu Mingchuan is an officer of the Huai army, not out of imperial examination. However, he acquires his promotion so rapidly that he soon becomes a governor solely out of his luck. It is disclosed that he frequently seeks his recluse. So the paper argues that a panoramic view is necessary to reinterpret his personality with his identification and the complexity of the difficult situation.
