论黄遵宪的经世致用和民权法治思想

On Huang Zunxian’s Ideology of Pragmatism, Civil Rights and Legislation

黄遵宪是晚清著名诗人、外交家和维新思想家,他的旨在君主立宪的政治立场并非空穴来风或臆想之作,而是他融汇世界潮流与晚清国情于一体的实事求是且坚定不移的政治选择。中国式的经世致用学说和源自海外的民权法治理论,最终促成和完善了他的立宪观的确立。经世致用和民权法治互为表里,推动了黄遵宪在晚清戊戌维新运动中起到了重要的理论桥梁作用,也为他亲身参与戊戌变法序曲的湖南新政奠定了坚实的思想基础,产生了积极的实践效果。

Huang Zunxian was a renowned poet, diplomat and ideologist of restoration in Late Qing Dynasty. The underlying rationale with his political position for constitutional monarchy involved his determined and realistic political choice after integrating the world tendency and the national conditions then. The pragmatism in China, together with the civil rights and legislation from oversea, served as catalysts for his opinion in constitutional monarchy. The two interactive factors pushed Huang Zunxian to be a significant theoretic bridge in the Constitutional Reform and Modernization in 1898, and brought about positive practical effects on his contribution to the reform movement in Hunan.
