:颜炳罡先生撰文认为“戊戌变法是中国现代化进程的逻辑起点” ,否认了“洋务运动是中国现代化的肇端”。这一认识和观点值得商榷。实际上 ,从“现代化”本身的涵义看 ,其主要标志是工业化 ,其进程主要表现为社会的转型 ,即由封建专制下的小农社会向近代民主制下的工商社会的转型。而洋务运动所掀起的工业化浪潮恰恰推进了这一社会的转化进程 ,因此 ,洋务运动可以作为中国现代化进程的逻辑起点。洋务运动和戊戌变法是前后相续 ,旨在使中国走向现代化道路的两大历史事件。戊戌变法只是继承和发展了洋务运动已经开启的现代化事业 ,可以作为中国政治现代化进程的逻辑起点 ,不能作为整个意义上的中国现代化进程的逻辑起点
: Mr. Yan Binggang wrote that “the reform movement of 1898 is the logical starting point of the process of China’s modernization” and denied that “the Westernization Movement is the beginning of China’s modernization.” This understanding and point of view is questionable. In fact, from the implication of “modernization” itself, its main symbol is industrialization. Its process mainly manifests as the transformation of society from the small-scale peasant society under the feudal autocracy to the business society under the modern democratic system. The wave of industrialization initiated by the Westernization Movement has just pushed forward the transformation process in this society. Therefore, the Westernization Movement can serve as the logical starting point for the process of China’s modernization. The Westernization Movement and the Reform Movement of 1898 are the two major historical events that followed each other and aimed at bringing China to the path of modernization. The Reform Movement of 1898 merely inherited and developed the already opened modernized cause of the Westernization Movement. It can serve as a logical starting point for the process of political modernization in China and can not serve as a logical starting point for the entire process of China’s modernization
