动乱时代的责任与道义——清代广西边疆城市社会福利事业述评

Responsibility and Morality in Tumultuous Time——Welfare of Guangxi's Border Cities in the Qing Dynasty

清代广西边疆城市地方官府、民间绅商和西方传教士举办利益诉求与运作方式不同的社会福利事业,对稳定城市社会秩序有一定积极作用。民间力量在社会福利事业运作管理中承担更大的权责,官方逐渐退出社会福利事业的管理领域是清代广西边疆城市社会福利事业发展的突出现象。

In the Qing Dynasty, local governments of border cities, squires and merchants, and the Western missionary , all established their distinctively-operated welfares in their respective interests. These welfares played a positive role in stabilizing the social order of the border cities. Of those three participants in welfare, squires and merchants sustained the most responsibility for the operation and management of the welfare, while local governments withdrew gradually from the welfare.
