Yan Fu System And The National Character Interaction Thinking Research

Yan Fu,a famous thinker in modern China, freely galloped Chinese Ideological boundaries nearly 30 years with over 300 million words of writing and translation. He was regarded as "a thinkers" by Sun Zhongshan,as a "Western-learning Sage" by Liang Qichao, as "a outstanding initiation pioneer" by Hu Shi and as "a advanced character who seeks for the truth to the Western country" by Mao Zedong. He formed opinions on the interaction between the system and the nationality by contacting person's modernization with system's modernization, which plaied the positive promotion effect on the transformation of the modern China's idea, the quality enhancement and the society's democratization. In immediately, the research, which on Yan Fu's thoughts about the interaction between the system and the nationality, conducted the research by division this thought into the national transformation and the system transforms. Nowadays, it is important to presents a synthetical discussion of this Yan Fu's thought from the whole.In order to study the thoughts, this dissertation, adopting the textual analysis, the comparative analysis and the inductive method, etc. has comprehensively used of the institutional economics, the politics and the education. through a "line type" structure arrangement, this dissertation is divided into six chapters, which are the forming process, the theoretical system, the theoretical dilemma, the historical value and the realistic enlightenments.The first chapter mainly researched its historical conditions, its theoretical sources and its detailed process. This dissertation pointed out that this thought was formed though reconsidering the reason for which the people were repeatedly defeated, by summarying the lessons from the social reform unceasingly suffered setbacks and by the criticizes the Chinese national incorrigbility from the foreigner in China, that It already absorbed the Chinese's traditional cultrure,such as the Mental-effort theory, the traditional transforms ideas and the ideas of the Confucianism takes the moral training important, and the western cultrure, such as the evolution theory, the social organism theory and the modern liberalism, etc. Its forming process may divide into in three stages which are the seed time, the formative time and the transition time.The second chapter discussed the Yan Fu's critique on the national incorrigbility, researched on the system reasons of the nationalistic incorrigbility and analysised the feudalism solidification to national incorrigbility. This dissertation reports that Yan Fu exhaustively criticized all sorts of performance of the modern China national's incorrigbility and thoroughly analyzesed the system roots of these incorrigbility. He discovered that there was a kind of interdependence relations between the monarchy system and the national incorrigbility, profoundly promulgated the hardship reason of the China modernization, which was that the national incorrigbility enables China feudalism have the greatly strengthened contravariance. Certainly, the Yan Fu's critique to national incorrigbility existences a few shortcoming.The third chapter mainly studied the Yan Fu'thought about how to breakthrough the equilibrium state between about the ancient regime and the nationalistic, about how to optimize nationality through the new system and about how to catalyzes the new system through the new nationality. This dissertation reports that Yan Fu, baseing on the paragenesis relations between the national incorrigbility and the absolute monarchy system, proposed a unique road to the democratic constitutionalism. Based on the human nature theory, he attempts to adjust the national behavior through the initiative arrangement of many concrete systems on the cost-revenue function. This path take "accumulates micro to macro" as a principle and insist unifies of endogenous spontance and exogenous aware. In this social transformational process, developing the technology, fostering the talentfor and changeing the systemthe are all important and carries on. Therefore, the eduction taken as the breakthrough poin to realize the promotion of China is not this narrow sense education, but the generalized education including the systemal educationt, the social education and school editiona. It is misunderstanding to belongs Yan Fu to the man who take the education as the way to save the nation.The fourth chapter, mainly through the comparison method, from historical dimension, analyzes the relations between this thought and the landlord-class-reformists ideology how to remold the people's custom and the relations between the Reform Movement of 1898 and 54 Enlightenment. The research showed that the modern China development was not according to way which designs by Yan Fu, but this thought still had the very important historical influence and the historical value. It not only criticizedly inherited the landlord class reformist's ideology to remold the people custom, but also powerfully supported the reformational movement by contributing the bourgeoisie reformist. It not only has trained large quantities of movement commanding general and has provided the theory weapon for 54 Enlightenment, but also has established the people-oriented value for the ideological trend of the modern nationality transformation.The fifth chapter studied the difficult position faced the evolution reform road which was designed by Yan Fu in modern China. Analysised from the new system economic angle, the Yan Fu's system and the nationalistic interaction thought was facing the difficult position in its practice, including the lacking-power main body, the Interactive demand, the traditional path dependence and the The environment influence from the realistic stock. Judging from the theory itself, trouble reasones lay in the contradiction between the moral people and the agent preset and in the conflict between the rational person and the irrational man.The sixth chapter, based on the plight and the practice teaching of yan fu' thoughts about the interactivation between the system and the theory of nationality, elaborated the following enlightenment, which are the national quality is an important variable of institutional construction, the optimization system has the function of improving national quality and the system reform has limitations to the improvment of national quality.In a word, the yan fu'thought about the interactivation between the system and the theory of nationality is unique in the 20th century Chinese history and is very precious cultural heritages and has the cross-century significance.
