章太炎“国学”之用探析

Probing and Analysing Zhang Taiyan's Function of Guoxue

章太炎认为国学的功用主要有三个方面:一是国学的革命反满之用。资产阶级革命时期,国学是革命派铭记种姓和激励革命斗志的武器;二是学术研究和文化传承之重地。章氏无论在资产阶级革命时期还是在其远离政治权力中心之时,均戮力进行国学的研究和传承。三是塑造国民道德之用。面对清末民初社会道德沦丧的景况,章氏认为国学是塑造国民道德的恒久法宝。

Zhang Taiyan was one of the most famous masters of Chinese traditional culture. He protested that Guoxue was a sharp weapon for bourgeois revolution, and a platform of studying and inheriting of traditional culture, and Guoxue was the best way to develop national ethics.
