20世纪初期,谭延闿三次督湘,大力发展湖南的实业建设,重视教育发展,倡导省自治运动,对湖南的早期现代化进程作出了重要的贡献。但是,由于史学界长期以来较多关注谭延闿的政治态度,而对其在湖南早期的现代化中的作用未能提及,因而影响了对谭延闿作出全面公允的评价。 In the early 20th century, Tan Yanzong supervised Hunan three times, vigorously developed its industrial construction in Hunan, paid great attention to the development of education and advocated the province’s autonomous movement, making an important contribution to the process of Hunan’s early modernization. However, historians have long been concerned about Tan’s political attitude and his role in the early modernization of Hunan has not been mentioned, thus affecting Tan Yanjuan’s overall and fair evaluation.
