宋恕与《明夷待访录》——兼论朱维铮的“归功于章太炎”说

The dissemination and influence of Waiting for the Dawn in southeast China in late Qing Dynasty

甲午战败以后,黄宗羲的《明夷待访录》因富含民权思想而在江浙地区得以广泛传播。受俞樾的激赏以及温州孙氏兄弟的影响,宗仰黄宗羲的宋恕不仅积极敦促刊刻《明夷待访录》,还以报馆、学会、书院等为阵地宣传它。由此,江浙地区逐渐形成了一个以宋恕为中心,借助《明夷待访录》而播扬维新思想的团体。此团体的活动有力地推动了晚清维新运动的蓬勃发展,宋恕也因之被称为"梨洲之后一天民"。从一定意义上说,《明夷待访录》在晚清大受重视应归功于宋恕,而非章太炎。

Based on Song Shu’s work, the present study explores the dissemination and influence of Huang Tsung-hsi’ Waiting for the Dawn, which was a plan for the future political rulers disseminating from southeast China to the whole country. Song Shu, an important ideologist in modern history of China, not only actively participated in the work of publicizing Waiting for the Dawn, but also made full use of institute, academy and newspapers to disseminate Huang Tsung-hsi’ political thoughts. Thus, with all the help, a reforming group had been gathered around Song Shu. The action of the group propeled the reforming thought in the late Qing Dynasty. So, Song Shu was considered as the most enthusiastic and powerful ideologist in the process of disseminating Waiting for the Dawn in southeast China in the late Qing Dynasty.
