晚清江南学术转型原因探析

Probe into the Causes of Academic Transformation in Southern China in the Late Qing Dynasty

晚清时期,作为全国学术中心之一的江南地区,其学术开始了从传统向近代的转型,表现是区域学术特征由朴学转向近代“新学”。导致江南地区学术转型的原因是多方面的:晚清江南地区的历史变迁和区域学术中心的转移是社会环境因素,朴学注重“格致”之学是学术转型的学术理路因素,科举废除与近代学堂的建立从教育制度上促进了学术转型。近代报刊与出版等传媒机构从学术传播上促进了学术转型,晚清两代学人群体的共同努力促成了学术转型的完成。

In the late Qing Dynasty,as one of the national academic centers,Southern China witnessed a transition from tradition to modernity,which showed that the regional academic characteristics changed from down-to-earth learning to western learning.Various reasons contributed to the academic transformation.The historical changes and the transfer of regional academic centers in Southern China in the late Qing Dynasty were social environment factors,the study of down-to-earth learning with focus on“ethics”was the academic logic factor,and the abolition of imperial examinations and the establishment of modern schools promoted academic transformation in terms of education system.Moreover,modern media institutions such as newspapers and publications facilitated academic dissemination,and the two generations of scholars contributed to the completion of academic transformation in the late Qing Dynasty.
