从“美国化”到“本土化”:清华国学研究院的缘起

From"Americanization"to"Localization":A Study on the Origination of College of Guoxue in Tsinghua University

随着五四新文化运动在中国社会各个角落的展开,清华园里相应地出现了一股文化运动的思潮,当时称之为"清华文化运动"。在这场文化运动中,感染时代精神的清华师生们,开始以犀利的眼光,反省清华教育中的"美国化",重新检讨清华在中国现代化进程中的作用和地位,从而形成了中西文化调和的校园思想氛围。深处其间的清华学子们,同时感受"整理国故"运动的强烈影响,于是从批评学校忽略中文教育发端,而后扩展至呼吁学校加强国学教育,直到最后在多重因素的衡量之下,校方遂在清华改办大学之际,创立了旨在"中西并重、新旧沟通"的国学研究院。

A culture movement named ＂Tsinghua Culture Movement＂ appeared in Tsinghua University during the May Fourth New Culture Movement. The faculties began to reflect on the educational tends of ＂Americanization＂ and the position of Tsinghua University in the course of China＇s modernization, and formed a coordination of Chinese and Western cultures. At the same time, the students in Tsinghua influenced by the movement of ＂Inventing China through History＂ took part in the movement from criticizing the ignorance of Chinese education to appeal to strengthen Guoxue education. Then, when Tsinghua was changed to a university, College of Guexue was established by the purpose of ＂combination Chinese and Western Cultures, Communication the Tradition and the Modernization＂.
