晚清学术与经世思潮

经世致用是儒学的传统。在晚清学术史上,无论是治今文经学的魏源,还是力主宋学的曾国藩,或是兼宗汉宋的张之洞;不论是强调公羊学的康有为,还是宗师汉学的章太炎,他们都踏上了经世之途,顺应了近代中国社会发展的要求,促成了晚清经世思潮的兴起。

Late Qing Scholarship and Statecraft

Emphasizing statecraft is a tradition of Confucianism. In the academic history of the Late Qing Dynasty, be it Wei Yuan, who pursued a new study of Confucian classics, or Zeng Guofan, who strongly advocated the learning of the Song Dynasty, or Zhang Zhidong, who took the learning of both the Han and the Song Dynasties as his models, all took paths to statecraft, including Kang Youwei, who emphasized Gongyang xue ( Gongyang learning) and Zhang Taiyan, who took Han learning as his model. The scholarship of those outstanding scholars met the requirements of social development in modern China and helped to bring about the rise of statecraft in the Late Qing period.
