涂宗瀛理学视角下的廉政作为

Tu Zongying's Clean and Honest Administration in the View of Neo-confucianism

涂宗瀛追随曾国藩、李鸿章,以坚守、宣扬程朱理学而著称,为官20载,所到之处心系黎庶百姓,尽职尽责,身体力行,始终如一。他办学校,扬理学,育黎民,正吏治,端民风,劝农桑以安本业,仿朱熹建社仓备赈,割俸金救灾荒,慎重人命不避处分。种种兴利除弊、造福人民的功绩深入人心。在廉政方面曾遭到一些言官的纠弹,通过彭玉麟的2次公正调查,最后还其清白。涂氏虽偏向保守,没有极力从事近代化活动,但于国、于民、于己都有值得肯定的地方。
