The Research On Yanfu’s Historical Evolution

Yan Fu translated, recommended "Evolution and Ethics" Implication ofbiological evolution in the history of modern China evolved into the theory ofevolution, is bourgeois reformists and bourgeois revolutionaries common belief ofhistory. Yan’s translation of "evolution" is the historical background of modernChina gradually into the Western colonial powers, semi-colonial China, facing thegiant earthquakes and landslides era where to go."Evolution" is from Huxley’s "thetheory of evolution and ethics", but Yan Fu has elucidated. The main content of yanfu history evolution is embodied in three aspects. First is the principle and rule ofhistorical evolution. Evolutionary principle is "Evolution" that is inherentcontradictions in nature due to the constant evolution, and evolution of the law is "ofnatural","natural selection"; In Yan’s view, the principles and laws of natureevolution also applies to human society. Followed by the historical evolution of the"group","self" and its associates, which is the historical evolution of the subject andits linkages. Historical evolution from no "group" that is human society,"self".Yanfu put whether is a good "fit in" as can be in an impregnable position in the fiercecompetition of the key, and "fit in" with "people first" is not easy to coordinate;thatis personal, Yan Shi believes that "self" that is, personal evolution more importantand more fundamental. On a personal conflict with social interest, advocated "haslight group of heavy","sacrifice for the group of". This not only is the Chinesetraditional "group", also reflected the Huxley pays great attention to the tendency of"social". On the order of evolution, that is, personal or social (state) Backwardsevolution issue, Yan reflect ambivalence; Facing the community and the country atstake, then the emphasis on social, national evolutionary priority over individuals,whereas the evolution of personal preference in the community, nation. Once again,evolutionary beliefs and evolution. In the history of the theory of evolution based on"progress" concept is novel and attractive, but also the prevailing belief in progressthat China needs; GEN historical evolution beliefs and experiences are linked,unlike the illusory utopia. Yan Fu believes that the universal process of theevolution of human society is patriarchal clan totem,and the state. Yan believes thatthe historical process of human evolution there must be a "Games", that is not thepeople’s will change the transfer rule, this rule is the history of the gradual evolution of a variety of factors converged to form a historical force. This force, once formed,will determine the development path of history, no one can stop. Yan’s historicalevolution both a rational point, but also has its limitations. His theory of evolutioninfluenced the Chinese advanced intellectuals way of thinking, values and otheraspects.It also shockde of the people’s tradition concept, improving movement ofbourgeoisie under the influence of this concept is deeply. Yan fu’s theory ofevolution thought with rich and detailed knowledge of western science as itstheoretical basis, but also absorbed the western many ideological heritage to form,so that yan fu’s thought is relatively complete and system evolution. Due to yan fuaffected by its own time and our class, he thinks things can only be gradual changeand can’t accept things change suddenly, so we can put his theory of evolution tovulgar category.
