摘要
新文化人塑造了疏离于传统、强调理性的启蒙式自我认同,并呼唤新的生活方式,向往美国式的一夫一妻小家庭。当新青年奔向恋爱结婚的时代新潮时,也有一些西化的知识分子持相反的论调。以学衡派为代表的知识分子批评家庭革命者对西方(特别是美国)的风俗多有误解和美化的嫌疑,认为传统中国伦理观念对于现代中国的家庭生活仍有意义和价值。他们意识到躁动不安的青年对社会秩序和文化传统的破坏,因而强调伦理道德对于凝聚社会和滋养人心的重要意义,并尝试从文化中寻找民族复兴的基础。虽然他们微弱的声音淹没在家庭革命的洪流中,但是这一群失败的挑战者却给我们提供了另一种思考的方向。作为一群西化的保守者,他们努力探求现代性与民族性的融合,强调中国文化的主体性,仍给今人以相当的启发。
The New Culture Movement of the mid-1910s and 1920s sought to introduce Western concepts into Chinese society,fostering a new self-identity rooted in rationality and estrangement from tradition.Advocates of this movement called for a modern way of life,aspiring to adopt the American-style monogamous family.However,not all intellectuals shared this vision.Xueheng School,a group of westernized conservatives,opposed the family revolution,criticizing its idealization of Western customs,particularly those of the United States.They argued that traditional Chinese ethics still held value for modern family life and warned against the erosion of social order and cultural traditions by radical youth.Xueheng scholars emphasized the role of ethics in maintaining societal cohesion and nurturing the moral fabric of the nation,believing that cultural heritage could serve as a foundation for national rejuvenation.Although their views were largely overshadowed by the momentum of the family revolution,their reflections offer a valuable alternative perspective.As westernized conservatives,they sought to balance modernity with national identity,highlighting the importance of Chinese cultural subjectivity—an idea that continues to resonate today.
