驻藏大臣联豫与第一份藏文官报:《西藏白话报》

Resident Minister Lian Yu and the First Government Gazette in Xizang:Xizang Vernacular Newspaper

《西藏白话报》是诞生于西藏的第一份报纸,也是驻藏大臣联豫筹办西藏新政完成的一项重要使命。本文结合档案、报刊和实物等史料,考证分析了《西藏白话报》的首刊时间、发行数量与式样等基本情况,并在清末西藏新政的背景下剖析其创刊与发行情况,揭示白话报作为晚清官报构成的普遍性及其在边疆发行的特殊性。同时,从《西藏白话报》的发行“形式”与“内容”中,可以审视联豫作为清中央驻西藏最高职权代表对“民众在场”与“国家认同”的考量,洞悉清政府在西藏文教改革中始终坚持的“固我主权”思想。
