梁启超的日本观

On Liang Qi-chao’s Views of Japan

梁启超的思想与人生观主要由三种因素构成 :中国的传统文化、西方思想以及来自日本的影响。早在戊戌变法时期 ,他就以明治维新为样板 ,提出了一整套的变法理论。流亡日本之后 ,梁启超通过阅读日文书籍 ,系统地吸收了西方的近代思想 ,形成了自己的启蒙思想体系。但随着对日本的观察、了解日益深入 ,他发现明治宪政存在着种种弊端 ,逐渐倾向于英国式的虚君制。进入民国期以后 ,梁启超对日本的侵华政策感到失望 ,批评日本的近代化是“路走歪了”

Liang Qi chao's thought and view of life consist of traditional Chinese culture, Western sense of values, and influence from Japan. He hammered out the reform theory in accordance with the Meiji Restoration as a model at the Reform Movement in late Ch'ing China. After defected to Japan, he absorbed European and American modern thoughts systematically through reading Japanese books, and began original enlightenment activities. However, he noticed the defect of the political organization of modern Japan based on Meiji Constitution, and came to make the constitutional monarchy of Britain as an ideal. After the Republic of China was established, Liang Qi chao was disappointed at the aggressive policy of Japan against China, and repeated criticizing the way of Japanese modernization.
