Revolution as Restoration: Guocui xuebao and China's Path to Modernity, 1905-1911 by Tze-ki Hon
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.3 MB
Overview: Tze‐ki Hon takes the title of Revolution as Restoration from intellectual Zhang Taiyan's comment that revolution should be defined as a restoration of Chinese culture. Hon reassesses the contribution of Zhang and other guocui writers, who have been judged by historians as “the worst kind of conservatives” (2) despite their calls for revolution. Instead of viewing modernity as a break from tradition, the writers for Guocui Xuebao (Journal of National Essence) found the seeds of progress in China's ancient past. Hon argues that the guocui group may provide us with a non‐linear model for progress and the imagined formation of a nation‐state in China.
