近代河南著名乡绅王锡彤所著的《抑斋自述》,是研究近代河南地方史的重要书籍,极具史料价值。透过《抑斋自述》可以看出,王锡彤笔下的袁世凯复辟的经过和逻辑大致可以分为:萌芽时期、高涨时期、失败时期、反思时期。同时,《抑斋自述》也折射出了王锡彤在袁世凯帝制漩涡中的内心斗争,这些都有助于研究当时的社会生态。 In modern times, the famous gentry in Henan Wang Xitong’s “Zhai Zhai recitation” is an important book for studying the local history of modern Henan, which is of great historical value. According to “Zhai Zhai Biographies,” we can see that the process and the logic of Yuan Shikai’s restoration under Wang Xitong can roughly be divided into: the budding period, the upsurge period, the failure period and the reflection period. At the same time, “Zhai Zhai Biographies” also reflects Wang Xitong’s inner struggle in Yuan Shih-kai’s imperial edict, which helps to study the social ecology at that time.
