Wu Qichang's evaluation of Liang Qichao: Wu Qichang is a proud disciple of Liang Qichao. He once wrote about Liang Qichao (Shengli Publishing House, 1944 edition) and evaluated Liang Qichao. He believes that "style reform is Liang Qichao's greatest achievement", and the "new style mixed with slang (newspaper style)" he initiated has made the reading level of the people advance by leaps and bounds. (ditto) Guo's evaluation of Liang Qichao: Guo set up a special chapter to analyze Liang Qichao's thoughts in the History of China Thought in the Past 30 Years, and thought that the main purpose of his new democratic theory was to establish a new morality-public morality. "The standard of public morality is to benefit the masses, with national thoughts and rights thoughts; People want freedom and autonomy; We should be enterprising and adventurous. China has not made progress for thousands of years because all obstacles have not been removed, so we must destroy it. The people should have self-esteem, gregarious thinking and perseverance. " He also pointed out that Liang Qichao's thought "actually represents the thought of western capital society and is a great washing of patriarchal feudalism for thousands of years." (The History of China's Thoughts in the Past 30 Years, Beiping Dabei Bookstore, 1935 Edition, page 50) Regarding the overall evaluation of Liang Qichao, the author thinks: "Liang's contribution to the history of China's thoughts is not as great as his contribution to the academic history, and his contribution to the history of thoughts is not as great as Kang Youwei's Creation and Destruction, and his thoughts mostly come from Kang and Tan Sitong, so his thoughts are not the same. (History of China's Thoughts in the Past 30 Years, pp. 53-54) (Chen: A Review of Liang Qichao's Academic Thoughts, p. 292) Evaluation of Liang Qichao: Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were published 1948. The purpose of Mr. Wang's writing this book is to criticize Kang and Liang's reformism and demonstrate that reformism is bound to fail in China. The author said in the book: "Times have changed, far from the past. The people have risen, and democracy and freedom have become the mainstream of the times. Historical Hong Tao and the revolutionary situation are irresistible. In the people's era and the democratic century, where can orphans talk about "reform" and "political reform", and what tricks can they play to "help Guangxu" and "protect Qing Dynasty"? (Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, Shanghai Huaxia Bookstore, 1948 edition, page 5) Therefore, the author focuses on Liang Qichao's political activities in this book, and rarely mentions his academic thoughts, which leads to a low evaluation of him: "Liang is not an excellent thinker, scholar and politician. In fact, he is just a vulgar' royalist liberal'! All his words and deeds in his life are concentrated on political activities, and he has always stood in the reactionary position of anti-democracy and counter-revolution for 30 years. Before the Revolution of 1911, anti-democracy and counter-revolution were "protecting the emperor" and therefore "protecting the Qing Dynasty"; After the revolution, it was anti-democratic and counter-revolutionary, so' supporting Yuan' and' protecting the valve' attempted to maintain feudal rule. " (Wu Ze: Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, p. 180) (ibid., p. 292-293) Wang Jieping's evaluation of Liang Qichao: Wang Jieping divided Liang Qichao's political thought into four stages in his long article On Reformist Liang Qichao. The first stage is from learning Kang Youwei to 1898 coup (65438+. In the second stage, from fleeing to Japan to arguing with revolutionaries (1898~ 1905), Liang Qichao turned against the revolution by rejecting the imperial system. In the third stage, from the failure of the debate to the Revolution of 1911 (1906 ~1911), it became more degenerate politically and openly resisted the bourgeois revolution. In the fourth stage, from returning to China after the Revolution of 1911 to Liang Qichao's death after the First Great Revolution (19 12~ 1929), it gradually became the backbone of the landlord comprador group, and its political thoughts became more reactionary. The author also analyzes the causes of Liang Qichao's ideological contradictions, mistakes and changes, and thinks that this is "a reflection of the despair of China's semi-colonial reformism when it went bankrupt in the imperialist stage, and a reflection of the sense of helplessness after some forces representing the landlord class were transformed into the bourgeoisie and were intricately attacked by imperialism, feudalism and revolutionary forces."
