摘要
在中国纷繁复杂的历史表象中,存在两条线索,一为维持皇权专制的"秦制线索",一为追求自由的"儒家线索"。秦代以后的二千年国史,基本上就是这两条线索互相交缠、较量的历史。当皇权愿意接受儒家政治哲学的塑造时,王朝的专制烈度就会降低、社会自治的空间就能得到拓展;而当儒学无力左右皇权的运作时,王朝的专制程度则会加剧,社会自治空间也受到压缩。通过对蕴含在秦后历史中的专制线索与自由线索的整理,可对费正清先生的"冲击—回应"模型论提出修正:中国近代化不仅是西方"冲击"的结果,也是内在于儒家历史的自主诉求。
From China＇ s complicated historical phenomena, two threads are discovered： the thread of the Qin Dynasty system for maintaining royal dictatorship, and Confucian thread of seeking freedom. During the 2,000 years and more since the Qin Dynasty, those two threads intertwined and struggled against each other. When the emperor would like to accept the Confucian ideas, freedom would gain more space; otherwise, the dictatorship would get the upper hand. Two points are put forward to amend Fairbank＇ s ＂impact--response＂ model： the modernization of China is not only the result of western ＂impact＂, but also the spontaneous appeal during the history of Confucianism.
