张謇与张之洞廉政思想比较

Comparison of the Thoughts of Zhang Jian and Zhang Zhidong About Clean Government

张謇与张之洞受儒家思想的影响,身处腐败骄奢的晚清时代,不为世风左右,修身养性、选贤任能,秉承"贤臣廉吏"的崇高风范,形成具有共同特点的廉政思想。因个人经历和身份的不同,其廉政思想又各具特色。张之洞作为进士及第的封疆大吏,主张通过奖惩促廉、裁革陋规保廉、以俸养廉等体制内的改良,促使官吏不想腐、不敢腐。而张謇则从官场转投实业并大获成功,再次为官时,他将企业的一套管理制度带到官场,主张加强规章制度建设,以提高行政效率。

Receiving traditional Chinese education from their early age, Zhang Jian and Zhang Zhidong, living in the corrupt late Qing Dynasty as they are, are deeply influenced by Confucianism and always adhere to the virtuous and integrity, sharing their ideals for integrity. But at the same time, due to their personal experiences and status, their ideals bear individual characteristics. Zhang Zhidong, climbing to a senior position from examinations, holds that integrity lies in inner reformation and it should be achieved through punishments and awards, maintained through reforming inferior rules and regulations and good salary, regulated by such disciplines, officials would not be willing to commit corruption, neither would them dare to. However,Zhang Jian, bringing the management system in business into official circle, advocates that government should strengthen the construction of rules and regulations to improve administrative efficiency.
