《广陵潮》原名《过渡镜》,以百万字的篇幅反映鸦片战争至五四运动前夕社会一隅的风貌,是中国过渡时期社会转型的写照。作品不仅反映了当时的种种社会变革和社会风貌,也反映了作者李涵秋,这个典型的旧式文人矛盾性的心路历程以及其在社会浪潮中的悲剧性,这不仅仅是李涵秋个人的矛盾双重性,也是当时一批有责任感的旧式文人普遍的心态。 Formerly known as the “transitional mirror” of “Guangling Tide”, the character of a corner of the community from the Opium War to the May 4th Movement in millions of words is a portrayal of China’s social transition in the transitional period. The works not only reflect the various social changes and social outlook of the time, but also reflect the author’s paradoxical mentality of Li Hanqiu, the typical old-style literati and his tragedy in the social tide. This is not only the contradictory duality of Li Hanqiu’s individual, It was also the common mentality of a group of old writers who were responsible.
