张之洞与清末修律

Zhang Zhidong and The Law Revision in Late Qing Dynasty

对于清末变法修律中的法、礼之争,以前的研究对于礼教派,不仅给予的关注不够,且多以陪衬、保守甚至反派的面目出现,这样的研究多有偏颇。作为礼教派最重要代表的张之洞,不仅对清末变法修律起到了重要的推动作用和奠基作用,他还是甄选修律人才的主要决策者和匡正修律内容的主要决定者,对于张之洞在清末修律中的地位和作用需给予正确评价。

Regarding the controversy between etiquette and law in the revision of law in the late Qing Dynasty,etiquette not only received insufficient attention,but appeared in the role of foil,conservative,and even villain in previous studies,which were mostly biased.As the most important representative of etiquette,Zhang Zhidong was not only the leader and blueprint designer of the revision,but also the main decision-maker responsible for talent selection and the helmsman who rectified the mistakes in the whole revising.Zhang′s status and role in the revision of law in the late Qing Dynasty needed to be properly evaluated.
