The Rise and Fall of Overseas Chinese Problem in the Early Republic of China

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early R epublic of China,foreign invasion made China suffer from an unprecedented humiliation,and the W estern powers initiated a commercial intrusion by forcing China to sign unequal treaties and open treaty ports. From this perspective,a deep exploration is made to study the corresponding influence and its function.

The Dissemination and Influence of the Three-Region Theory in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century China

The three-region theory,which divided the air into warm,cold,and hot strata from bottom to top,was the paramount theory for explaining meteorological phenomena in medieval Europe.Such missionaries as Matteo Ricci,Francisco Furtado and Alfonso Vagnone introduced it into China during the seventeenth century,where it had a significant influence on Chinese meteorological knowledge.Chinese scholars endeavored to understand and assimilate this theory based on the traditional yuanqi元氣(original substance or primal vitality)theory or yinyang陰陽(negative and positive principles)theory,so as to either broaden the range of the three regions,or to indicate that there were no definite boundaries to them.In this context,Jie Xuan揭暄drew a meteorological illustration entitled Rihuo xiajiang yangqi shangsheng tu日火下降暘氣上升圖(Illustration of the descent of the sun’s warmth and the ascent of warmed air),which epitomized how Sino-Western scientific encounters inspired new ideas.

明遗民集序书写的纪传与想象

别集序在文体初创时期,就已经确立了传记写作的传统。明末清初的遗民通过诗文来回应国家和自我身份认同等问题。这种回应体现在别集序的书写中,使其中的纪传部分更加注重真实性的表达。然而,由于别集序的主观创作空间较大,真实与想象的成分在遗民的别集序中交织在一起,这无疑影响了通过“知人论世”的传统批评方法所得批评主张的有效性。此外,集序作者往往通过个人经历的想象和性情的投射来塑造遗民的形象。这种塑造可能源于作者真实情感的流露,也可能出于对经典文本的模仿。因此,遗民集序中的人物形象可能与他们的历史行为存在差异,这进一步影响了集序所传达的文学批评要素的接受和传播。

清末民初江苏地区家谱特点探析

清末民初,在动荡的社会环境下,家谱修撰成为部分家族承继血缘关系和家族文化的重要方式。江苏地区是修纂家谱最为密集的地区之一,对家谱的诸多方面进行了有益的补充。扬州吴氏、宜兴吕氏和无锡锡山秦氏三个家族的家谱具有完备的体例,重视家规族约的制定,并充实了对家族女子成员的记载内容。这些特点与当时的政治环境、经济基础和区域文化紧密相关,是传统文化和近代思想相结合的产物。

僧诗总集与晚明清初的丛林习诗热潮——以稀见文献《珠林风雅》为典型

《珠林风雅》是晚明清初僧诗风气高涨的产物,也是古典诗歌总集编印高潮时期的典型样本。它生动地反映了诗歌从个别精英僧人的专利,到清初发展为一般文化僧都能够参与的文学活动。这是明清之际诗学家徐增编选的僧诗总集,以寺院为中心,选录了灵隐寺住持晦山戒显及僧众十余人的诗作一百余首。戒显入选最多,其中的《题武昌黄鹤楼》不仅当时“天下传颂”,而且逐渐流传为两种版本。版本差异显现了清代政治规训力量的强悍,也显现了僧诗在诗坛的影响。其他僧人也大半编有自己的诗集,但对入选仍极为热心,他们不仅期待借助传播性更强的诗歌总集传世不朽,也希望跻身为寺院文化的塑造者。晚明清初僧诗文献大量存世,无论种类还是数量都已远远超过前代,却很少受到学界关注。这一存世文献与研究成果极不对应的现象,提醒研究者重新审视佛教文学史的认识框架。

近代变局与庆宽的仕宦人生

庆宽是晚清民初的“奇人”,以民籍混入内务府旗籍,借助绘画的特长和办皇差的机会,在晚清拥堵的官场上,逐级升迁至候选内务府三院卿,积累了大量财富,也引发了官场侧目,遭到光绪帝下旨抄家的惩罚。戊戌之后,庆宽利用往日的关系网成为访日特使,又因为辛丑议约的劳绩,获得保举,恢复了原有旗籍和职衔。晚清最后十年,庆宽在仕途上做最后一搏,但最终止步于四品道台,遂决心离开官场。在民初的十年,庆宽以平民视角观察政局,时而以旗人身份筹划旗人生计,时而作为普通市民关注城市自治,逐渐淡出了时代舞台。

交往的情趣:元末明初江南诗人的风雅之好

元末明初诗歌创作呈现丰富、多面的色彩,江南诗人的题画唱和即为其中之一。在社会乱离背景下,江南诗人以题画表达时代之思、离别之情和隐逸之趣,体现出不同一般题画诗的创作趣味和文化内涵。他们以题画送别、交往唱和、共赏题诗等方式,共同促成了这一时期江南诗坛的兴盛景象。元末明初江南诗人在文学交往过程中展现的风雅之好,是构成该时期诗歌创作景观的重要面向。今人建构元末明初诗史图像,江南诗人的题画唱和之作应进入关注视野。

论清末民初博览会事业中的民族主义

清末民初博览会事业蕴涵了丰富的民族主义。它产生的外部因素是西方“先进”所形成的“榜样”力量,以及西方帝国的霸权行径和经济侵略,内部因素是中国自身的落后,以及中国人所具有的“经世忧国”传统精神。它产生的路径基本是:先进的西方列强,对落后中国进行经济侵略,导致中国利权外溢,产生严重民族危机,具有“经世忧国”精神的中国人奋发图强,既积极学习西方,仿行西法,又反省自身落后,积极展开竞争,谋求改良、发展,其中,蕴涵了忧患、危机、反省意识及竞争、发展观念,最终目的是实现民族国家独立富强。这样的民族主义具有追赶性、内向性、开放性特征,且主要体现在经济层面,虽有过急追求发展的一面,但其价值目标及立足自身的方法取向是理性的。

清末民初讽喻联的“言文合一”趋向及意义

清末民初的讽喻性楹联在中国古代讽喻传统的基础上,与白话运动相结合,在音韵、句式、技巧等方面出现不同程度的新变。平仄规则的自由化、句式词汇的白话化、修辞技巧的谐趣化,使得清末民初讽喻联在“形”与“神”双重层面契合了“言文合一”理念,成为“我手写我口”的实践性文体。清末民初讽喻联最直接且最真实地反应了民众的心声,作为强有力的“战斗武器”,于嬉笑怒骂之中,剖析黑暗惨痛之现实。

舆论下的规制:清末民初法学教育的“跃进”式发展(1905—1927)

在近代“西学东渐”的历史潮流下,清末民初,社会舆论推动了西式法学教育的出现与发展,但受传统谋官心态以及逐利目的的影响,法学教育呈现“跃进”式的发展状况,致使民国初期各类法律学校数量一度激增至67所。面对此种乱象,社会舆论再度发挥监督作用,以谴责批评的方式助推政府通过教育管控、学校裁撤以及自我整改来规制此种乱象,并取得了明显效果。回顾清末民初法学教育“跃进”式发展的历史脉络,在看到其发展乱象的同时,也要认识到其在传播法律知识、培养法治理念和培育政法人才方面对近代中国的贡献。

清末民初《西游记》英译研究

《西游记》是中国古典小说域外传播最为成功的作品之一,影响力甚至超过国内推崇的《红楼梦》。从英译动机、译介策略和译文特征方面入手,清末民初《西游记》英译的历史演进轨迹可划分为滥觞期(1884—1895)、开拓期(1896—1911)和发展期(1912—1930)三个阶段。译介队伍由初始的传教士拓展为作家、记者和汉学家等多元化译者;英译作品的传播经历了从报刊连载、文学史、作品集到独立发行的过程;取经前的故事内容译介频次高,反映了西方译者的翻译立场和审美价值。

呔商历史文化基础:明末清初冀东商品经济样态

呔商以冀东永平府为起源地,为近代东北民族资本主义经济中不可忽视的力量。呔商的兴起源于明末清初以来冀东地区传统商品经济的发展。独特的地理环境塑造出冀东“耕织鱼盐”经济模式,滦河、渤海的传统水运培育冀东地区的商品经济观念,而农牧交界的地理位置形成冀东地区包容开放的商业氛围。在以上因素作用下,冀东商品经济传统逐渐形成。冀东商品经济的主要特点为,以粮布鱼盐为主要商品,以具有地域特色的码头市集贸易为特色,贸易范围涵盖环渤海与口外地区,与此同时服务于商业的牙行、典当业已经出现。在明末清初边禁趋缓的背景下,冀东商人觉察到关内关外的潜藏商机,毅然投身于闯关东大潮,开启百年呔商辉煌历史。

清末民初本土科学教科书中“文化自信”的特征研究

新时代教育改革背景下,在课程与教材体系中贯穿文化自信成为教科书编写的现实需求。清末民初是中国教育新旧交替、中西文化碰撞交融的大变革时代,教科书中的文化内容也具备典型的时代特征。以清末民初商务印书馆出版的两套本土科学教科书为研究对象,从内容特征、融入方式两个维度对教科书中“文化自信”的内容进行分析,发现该时期科学教科书具有文化融入类别丰富、实用性特征突出、充分发挥文化的教育功能等特征。这一时期的科学教科书能够为当代教科书编写提供参考。
