浙东史学与民国经史转型——以刘咸炘、蒙文通为中心

Eastern Zhejiang Historiography and the Transformation of Classical Studies and Historiography in the Republic of China:A Study on Liu Xianxin and Meng Wentong

晚清民国时期,重新阐释、构建中国学术的渊源流变成为近代学人沟通中西的重要环节。巴蜀学人刘咸炘、蒙文通试图重塑浙东史学,寻求传统学术的近代出路。刘咸炘构建以章学诚为核心,"以宋世婺州史学为表,明之姚江理学为里"的浙东学术系谱,旨在塑造、贯彻浙东史学以公统私、广大圆通的学术特质,以此重建中国文化,回应中西古今之争。蒙文通强调南宋浙东史学与清代浙东史学的差别,以秦汉新儒学为根本,将南宋浙东史学构建成为"儒史相资"的典范,以此阐扬儒学在中国文化中积极的历史意义和现实价值,希冀"推昔人之陈说,示大法于将来"。以疏源浚流的方式呈现晚近各派学人转化传统学术的本意与主旨,或可探明传统学术的流变,以资当下构建中国学术本位借鉴。

In the late Qing and the Republic of China,the re-interpretation and re-construction of the origin and development of Chinese academics became important for modern scholars in the communication between East and West. Some Sichuan scholars, like Meng Wentong and Liu Xianxin, tried to seek a modern way out of the traditional academics through the reconstruction of Eastern Zhejiang Historiography. Examining the genealogy of the ＂Wuzhou Historiography of Song and Yaojiang Li Studies＂ with a focus on Zhang Xuecheng, Liu Xianxin stressed the academic characteristics of Eastern Zhejiang Historiography in his attempt to rebuild Chinese culture. Highlighting the differences between the Eastern Zhejiang historiographies of the Southern Song and Qing dynasties, Meng Wentong constructed the former as a model of ＂Interaction between h ＂ Confucianism and Historiograp y based on Neo-Confucianism of the Qin and Han dynasties,and elaborated on the historic and realistic significance of Confucianism in Chinese culture. The inquiry into the scholars＇ intentions and aims may shed light on the development of traditional academics and be used as a reference in the construction of modern academies in China.
