摘要
义和团运动后期 ,以一批江南绅商为主体的社会力量在中外战争状态尚未结束的时候 ,便自行动员大量社会资源 ,深入华北地区来救助因兵灾而流落当地的江南人士。这种跨地域救济兵灾难民的活动是中国历史上从未出现过的。它的发生一方面以江南地区的慈善传统和义赈实践为基础 ,另一方面又借用了西方式公益事业即红十字会的救济模式。正是这种中国地方传统与西方影响的结合 ,展示了中国近代公益事业产生的一个独特途径。
In the later stage of the Boxer Uprising, a group of Jiangnan gentry-merchants mobilized substantial resources to provide relief for refugees displaced by the fighting between Western forces and the Boxers in northern China. This sort of trans-regional relief effort was unprecedented in China. It had its origins in the philanthropic and famine relief traditions of Jiangnan, and it also drew on the example of the Western public welfare like the Red Cross Society. This combination of Chinese regional traditions and Western examples foreshadowed the birth of modern public welfare in China.
