南方文化视野下的广东近代政治与革命——以陈序经的论述为中心

The Politics and Revolution in Modern Guangdong in the "View of Southern Culture": On the Basis of Chen Xujing's Arguments

广东是中国近代民主革命的策源地,在中国政治现代化进程中具有重要的地位。广东学者陈序经的“南北文化观”,从东西文化交流的角度,论述了广东成为现代政治与革命先进之地的原因,为理解广东文化与近代政治与革命之间的关系提供了一种独特的观察视野,并借助于对南北文化的分析,对南方在近代政治与革命史上的意义作出了新的解释。这些解释对于我们进一步理解广东何以能成为民主革命的策源地,以及如何认识广东文化,给予了重要的启示。

The 'View of Southern Culture' was an important standpoint of Chen Xujing, a famous scholar of Guangdong province. He regards Guangdong as the site of 'Southern Culture' in China, a place actually influenced by Western cultures. From such a special point of view, he discusses the reason why Guangdong played important roles in modern Chinese political and revolutionary history, and gives us a new explanation that Guangdong can be the starting point of Chinese modern democratic revolution, and contributes to a better understanding of historic significance of Guangdong culture.
