近代天津与中国社会转型

Qing Loyalist Guo Zeyun＇s Activities in Republican Tianjin -- The Reading Notes of Long Gu Shan Ren Nian Pu

在近代中西交汇的背景下,天津在开埠后迅速成长为北方最大的口岸城市和重要的军政运作中心。自晚清以迄民国,天津是权力、资本与信息的汇聚之地,中、西、土、洋不同元素塑造了天津的城市样貌与文化性格,旧城、租界与新区并存的。

Guo Zeyun, an official in the Republic of China and a key figure of the group who still had attachment and commitment to the fallen Qing dynasty as well, was active in Beijing and Tianjin in the 1920s-40s. The newly published Long Gu Shan Ren Nian Pu, a chronology of Guo Zeyun compiled by Guo himself, records Guo＇ s life experience in 60 years. It includes an enormous amount of historical materials, and thus is valuable for the research on the politics in the late Qing and early Republican period, struggles among cliques, and activities of the Qing loyalists in the Republic. The narrative of the chronology illustrates that Guo was a scholar with patriotism and integrity, deeply influenced by the orthodoxy Confucian thoughts, but he was committed to the Qing dynasty in his whole life and boasted himself too much in his poetry and essays.
