摘要
新近出版的《许宝蘅日记》堪称反映清末民初北京政治和社会风俗的资料宝库。许宝蘅清末任职军机处、承宣厅,民国初年又任总统府、国务院秘书,长期活动于政治中枢,对袁世凯在光绪帝、慈禧太后去世、辛亥清室让位、民初获取大总统职位的活动均有记载。在新旧政权交替的过渡时期,许氏身为幕职人员,敬业为公,谨慎忍耐,顾全大局,因而很受袁世凯的信任。民初官场黑暗,许宝蘅始终能有一个狭小的生存空间,多少与"项城旧人"的特殊身份有关。日记中对袁氏活动的零星记载,除了披露内幕和细节,也可对今人了解鼎革之际政治演化过程有新的启示。
XU Bao-heng's diary recently published can be evaluated as the data bank for revealing the political and social custom of Beijing during the time from the end the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China.XU took office in the Military Council and Secretary Office at the end period of Qing Dynasty,and continued to be secretary of President and State Council at the beginning of the Republic of China.It is apparent that he stood long in political center.He recorded the activities of YUAN Shi-kai's obtainment of the presidency post along the deaths of Guangxu Emperor and Cixi Empress Dowager,and the abdication of the Qing Dynasty.As an assistant officer,XU during this transition period respected work for the state,was prudent and tolerant,gave due consideration to the overall situation,and hence gained YUAN's trust.At the beginning of the Republic of China,the official circles were dark,but XU maintained a narrow living space throughout,which has something to do with his special status.The diary only has fragmentary recording about YUAN's activities,but it reveals the inside stories and details,which can be insightful to understanding the political evolution of that period.
