实现湖湘文化近代转型的革命吹鼓手杨毓麟

Yang Yulin——A Revolutionary Eulogist of the Realization of Modern Transfomation of Huxiang Culture

杨毓麟在1902年发表的《新湖南》一文中,精辟总结了湖湘文化的发展源流、近代转型及其思想精髓,在20世纪初最先吹响了反帝反封建的革命号角,提出了一整套建立民主共和新制度与暴力革命的学说,为辛亥革命的爆发提供了威力巨大的思想武器,不愧是实现湖湘文化近代转型的革命吹鼓手。

In an article published in New Hunan in 1902, Yang Yulin made a penetrating summary of the origin of the development, modem transformation and the essense of thought of Huxiang Culture, which, for the first time at the beginning of the 20th century, sounded a clarion call to fight agaist imperialism and feudalism, put forward a set of revo- lutioary theories of establishing a new democratic republic system and violent revolution and provided powerful weapens of thinking for the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911. He is worthy of the title of a revolutionary eulogist of the realization of modem transfomation of Huxiang Culture.
