张之洞历史定位之我见

On Zhang Zhidong's Historical Role

对于张之洞的历史定位向有争议,本文从张之洞与时代的关系,以及才识、人格、心态和与李鸿章比较的角度,认定他是过渡时代由封建官僚向资产阶级过渡未到达彼岸的人物,是基本上能审时度势、与时俱进的人物,是集官僚与学者于一身,始终存在趋新与恋旧矛盾心态的人物.

The scholars have different opinions about Zhang Zhidong's historical position. By studying Zhang Zhidong's relations with his times and comparing his talent, his character, his mind with Li Hongzhang, this paper argues that Zhang Zhidong was a very complicated person. He was a transitional figure in a transition period, and he basically could judge the era and catch up with the situation. As a bureaucrat and scholar, Zhang Zhidong was a person with a contradictory mind.
