摘要
清季十年间,“民”被视为国家的根本和主人、国家兴衰存亡的决定性力量和社会变革的主要力量,在思想界的地位出现了前所未有的提升。然而,回到中国的现实,不少人对当时之“民”能否承担这种责任表现出很大的怀疑。这使得晚清思想界中的“民”呈现名和实的分野,具有理想和现实两个层面。曾被寄予厚望的“民”本身也成为有待解决的新问题。因此而产生的“新民”主张又被认为缓不济急,使改变政府成为关注的问题。而“民”的素质问题至辛亥鼎革仍未解决,又遗留到民国。
During the last decade of the Qing,“the people” were regarded as the foundation and owners of the nation,the decisive factor in the prosperity or decline of the country and the major force in social reform,with a place in intellectual circles that they had never before attained.However,reflecting on the realities of China led many people to doubt whether “the people” of the time were up to the task.This meant that in late Qing intellectual circles there appeared a discrepancy between “the people” in name and in fact and between the level of the ideal and the reality.“The people” themselves,of whom so much was expected,also presented a new problem.Hence was born the idea of the “new people,” but this was considered too slow a remedy for the critical situation.Thus a change of government began to attract more attention.The issue of the quality of the people had not been resolved by the time of the Chinese Revolution of 1911,and remained into the Republican era.
