晚清“海内三贤”略议

The Discussion of Late Qing "Three Virtuous Confucian"

清道光年间,倭仁、李棠阶和吴廷栋在京师倡导程朱理学,成为理学营垒中的中坚人物。同治年间,他们掌权辅政,发挥儒学的政治功能,加强了对全国人民的思想控制,促成清王朝出现了"同治中兴"的局面。不过,在晚清"大变局"的时代背景下,他们仍然坚持用传统的手段来解决近代出现的新问题,视程朱理学的道德论为治国的根本大法,自然无法回应时代"变局"的挑战,也为时代进步的潮流所抛弃。

During Daoguang period, Wo Ren, Li Tang- jie and Wu Ting- dong advocated the Cheng Zhu Neo- Confucianism in the national capital, and became the backbone character in the Neo- Confucianism association. During Tongzhi period, they displayed the Confucius and Mencius Confucianism's political function, strengthened the ideas of the National People's control, contributed to the emergence of the Qing Dynasty's 'the Tongzhi Resurgence'. But they were abandoned by the progressive trend of era due to insisting on solving the new problem appearing in modern times by traditional means.
