汪士铎经世思想探略

Probe into WANG Shi-duo's Thought of Statecraft

晚清道咸以来,经世思潮涌起,不同治学路向、各个社会阶层的学者都卷入其中。汪士铎作为禀承汉学的下层知识分子,在日趋严重的社会危机刺激之下,也走上了经世致用的道路。他激烈抨击社会弊病,同时提出消弭内乱,改革社会的主张。其中,他对孔孟儒学的尖锐批判和晚婚晚育、节制生育、减农广商等人口思想独具特色。

Since the periods of Daoguang and Xianfeng in the latter Qing Dynasty, the thought of statecraft has been a rising ideological trend in which scholars of different schools and different classes were involved. WANG Shi-duo （1802-1889）, among the intellectuals of lower levels who studied Sinology, turned to study the statecraft when social crisis were getting more and more serious. He attacked the social drawbacks fiercely and put forward the propositions of eliminating the civil strife and reforming the society. Criticizing Confucianism, marrying and bearing at a mature age, controlling bearing, subtracting farming and expanding business were among his characteristic thoughts.
