爱国报人丁竹园与清末民初白话报

Patriotic Newspaperman Ding Zhuyuan and Vernacular Newspapers in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China

本文首先梳理了丁竹园在天津《直报》《大公报》《商报》中倡导白话文的历史起点,继而详细阐述了他创办《竹园白话报》《天津竹园报》的过程及面临的困境,最后考述了他在《民兴报》《天津白话报》《正宗爱国报》等报纸担任义务主笔的情况。论文认为清末政府严苛的报律挫伤了白话报刊倡导者和实践者的积极性,一定程度上影响了白话文报纸的发展,却又为五四时期白话文革命奠定了坚实基础。
