近代中国的回眸——读《袁氏当国》有感

Looking Back on Modern China——Inspired by Reading Yuan Shi Dang Guo

《袁氏当国》是唐德刚先生所写的一本以袁世凯当权始末为背景,反映清末民初各党派、各势力在动荡的时局中争斗的著作。书中就清末社会转型问题、历史三峡问题进行了深入探讨,并对中国近代民主化进行了追寻。其思想见解具有独到之处,对研究中国近代史进程有很高的参考价值。刘逵是西晋学者,博学多识,精通礼学,同时又善于吸收学习当今先进的学术研究成果。左思《三都赋》成,刘逵为其作注。以其《吴都赋注》为例,可知其注释翔实可征,委曲备至。刘逵的这种注释特点,一方面是基于左思《三都赋》尚实贵本之创作倾向,另一方面,也是因为刘逵效法胡广、蔡邕,而胡、蔡二人的注释颇为精核。
