在近代中国的流交发展中，中下层士绅的文化心态直接影响着整个社会的进程。就“开风气之先”的湖湘士绅来说，从１９世纪６０年代的盲目排外到９０年代末借鉴西学、求新求变热潮的兴起，充分说明文化更新是社会转型的启动器。只有在传统文化与西方文化的互补、革新之中，中国才能实现真正的变革。 In the modern China’s flowering development, the cultural mentality of the middle and lower gentry directly affects the entire social process. From the blind exclusion of the 60s in the 1860s to the learning of Western learning in the late 1990s, the rise of the new wave of change in demand made it clear that cultural regeneration is the starting point for social transformation. Only in the complementary and reforming of traditional culture and western culture can China achieve real change.
