传统与现代之间——民初社会中军阀的行动逻辑

Between the Tradition and the Modern——The social logic of action in the warlords in the early years of the Republic of China

北洋军阀统治时期,军人干政成为政治生活中的常态,"军—绅政权"作为较早被提出的经典概念,旨在阐明这一时期军阀的统治之"道"。由于中国在现代化改革过程中政治权威的不断丧失,从而导致官、绅、军之间的整合断裂,社会出现失序状态。军人因其自身高度组织化的特点从而成为乱世的执牛耳者,然而在有着文治传统的中国,军人又不得不从传统中汲取资源,从而实现其统治之道。

During the period of the northern warlords,military interference in politics became the norm in the political life, ' military gentry regime' as the classical notion had earlier been proposed to elucidate the gist of governance of warlords in this period.Due to the lack of political authority in the reform and modernization process,the harmony of officials,gentry and army was broken,which led to the social disorder.Soldiers,because of its highly organized characteristics,become the power holder.However,since there is a tradition that power shall be taken by officials,soldiers had to derive resources from the traditional so as to realize the ruling of the country.
