民国时期诸多“学人”任事于外交,此乃近代中国外交人事结构变动的新景观。这一变动打破了长时间以来职业外交官对外交界的垄断,造成了人事结构之重组和“学人”自身角色的转换,并引发了他们与职业外交官在外交理念上的矛盾冲突。而这些变化则与当时国内社会生态以及现代外交发展相关联。 During the period of the Republic of China many “scholars” worked in diplomacy, which was a new landscape of the changes of the structure of diplomatic personnel in modern China. This change has broken the monopoly of diplomatic missions by professional diplomats for a long time, resulted in the restructuring of personnel structure and the conversion of their own role as “academics” and triggered their conflicting diplomatic conceptions with professional diplomats. These changes were related to the social ecology in the country at that time and the development of modern diplomacy.
