维新运动期间宋育仁政治思想研究

A Study on Song Yurens Political Thoughts during the Hundred Days Reform

宋育仁是一位杰出的维新志士。维新运动时期,他揭露时弊,纵论时政,言行并用,呼吁变法。他抨击官僚制度弊端,要求改革官制的思想与康有为等维新派志士改革官制的主张颇为相似。其出使伦敦的经历、甲午战争后沉重的民族危机及民族资本主义的发展、其深厚的国学素养等因素促进了他政治思想的产生。他的政治思想也存在一定的局限性,如主张西学中源、过度崇古尚古等。

Song Yuren was an outstanding person of ideals and integrity on reform.

His political thoughts were stimulated by his experience on a diplomatic mission to London, by the profound national crisis after the War with Japan in 1894, by the development of national capitalism, and by his profound accomplishment in Chinese culture. However, there are certain limitations in his political thoughts, for example, he proposed that Western cultures were originated from China, and he advocated esteeming the archaic, etc.
