序言何以成专著——考释五四语境下《清代学术概论》的写作缘由

Why a Preface Become a Monograph

梁启超的《清代学术概论》是清学史经典著述之一,该书的写作恰逢五四新文化运动方兴未艾之时。将以胡适为代表的新文化运动引入《清代学术概论》的写作背景之中,揭示梁启超写作此书的缘由及其对新文化运动的呼应与引导,以此结论,该书不仅是论列清代考据学的学术史著述,更是一部反映五四思潮的思想史著述。探寻梁启超将一篇序言写成一部专著的缘由,应不失为我们解读该书隐于学术背后思想的一个出发点。

It was the time of the ＂May Fourth＂New Cultural Movement when Liang Qichao wrote Introduction to Qing Dynasty＇s Scholarship. By regarding the New Cultural Movement as the historieal backgroud of writing this book, revealing the reason of Liang Qichao writing this book, it＇s not only a work of scholarship of Qing Dynasty, but also a work of history of thought of May Fourth.
