知识分子与戊戌变法

Intellectuals and the Reform Movement of 1898

戊戌变法作为中国新兴的资产阶级及其知识分子进行政治变革的初次尝试,只存在了很短时间,它的失败延缓了中国的近代化,然而,它的影响并不因它的失败而告终结。戊戌时期所介绍的西方学术思想,适应了由物质层面改革向制度层面改革转变时期的社会需要,打击了“君权神授”思想,唤醒了人民的自主意识和竞争精神,为民主的变政方向提供了理论依据。

The Reform Movement of 1898 was the first trial on political reform by the new capitalist class and the intellectuals in China. Although it lasted for a very short period and its defeat has retarded the progress of China' s modernization, its influence did not disappear with its defeat. During the Reform Movement of 1898, the western academic ideology introduced in China satisfied the social needs in the transformation from material reform to system reform, attacked the thoughts of ' divine right of kings', and awakened people' s consciousness of independence and competition, thus providing theoretical basis for democratic reform, and providing methodology of science for Chinese people to properly understand the world and transform the world.
