废科举与辛亥革命爆发的关系

The Abolishment of the Imperial Civil Service Examination System and the Outbreak of the 1911 Revolution

1905年科举制的废除是历史发展的必然结果。但由此引发了社会各阶层思想观和价值观的变革,造成了士绅阶层对清政府的离心力,松动了清王朝的统治。新学的兴起带来的不仅是科学与技术,更是民主与革命。清政府失去了整合社会基础的功能,造成整个社会长时间广泛地趋于动荡不宁。学堂学生的革命化倾向和新军的崛起,最终引发了辛亥革命的爆发。

The abolishment of the imperial civil service examination system in 1905 is an inevitable result of the historical development, which triggered the social change in ideology and values in various strata, caused the centrifugal force of gentry class against Qing Government, and loosed the role of Qing Dynasty. The rise of new study not only brought about the science and technology, but also democracy and revolution. Qing Government was ineffective in integrating social base, which made the society turbulent everywhere for a long time. The revolutionary inclination of school students and the rise of new army triggered the outbreak of the 1911 Revolution eventually.
