谈苏轼政治思想的进步性

On Su Shi's Progressive Ideology

苏轼是以一个改革者的姿态登上政治舞台的,他在进入仕途之初,就曾对北宋王朝的因循守旧、苟且偷安的作风,提出了尖锐的批评,响亮地提出“涤荡刷新而卓然有所立”的口号。苏轼与王安石的政见分歧,实质上是“怎样改革”的路线之争。由于政治地位和客观生活环境的改变,由于统治阶级的残酷迫害,苏轼晚年逐步改变了对封建君主所抱的幻想,他的忠君思想发生了明显的动摇。

Su Shi mounted the political stage as a reformer. At the time when Su began his career as a bureaucrat, he criticized severely the conservative, complacent Court of Northern Song, raising the slogan of “sweeping away old practices and coming up with new ones'. The difference between Su Shi and Wang Anshi, the prime minister,is one of which way to take to execute the reform. Because of the change of political status and environment of living, coupled with persecution by the ruling class, Su gave up his illusion about the feudal sovereign ruler and abiured his alltqiance to the Throne.
