孙中山颁布“剪辫令”的思想根源

The Ideological Origin of Sun Yat-sen's Decree of "Shearing Men's Braids"

辛亥革命结束了满清王朝在中国的统治,而作为清王朝统治标志之一的辫子的割除在新政权建立后就带有了某种观念革新的意义。1912年3月中华民国南京临时政府颁布了一道大总统令,命令的内容是要求"未去辫者,限二十日内一律剪除净尽"。这种以行政命令的方式推行"剪辫"的做法,具有一种不同寻常的意味。通过探讨孙中山颁布"剪辫令"背后的思想根源,可以揭示出孙中山思想中的一些误区和倾向。

The Revolution of 1911 put an end to the ruling of Qing Dynasty in China. The shearing of braids, which served as the symbol of Qing＇s ruling, bore the significance of renovating concepts after the founding of new government. In March, 1912, the provisional government of Republic China issued a presidential decree to cut off menis braids within 20 days. This practice implemented by administrative decree had an unusual implication. This paper attempts to show some misconcepts and tendencies hidden in Sun＇s ideas by exploring the ideological origins behind the decree.
