远在“五四”新文化启蒙之前,中国面孔的自由观念早在儒生—知识者群落流播甚久。若以1919年“五四”为时间下限,则从陶潜(369~427)算起,它已流传近1500年;从苏轼(1013~1101)算起,它已流传900年;从龚自珍(1792~1841)算起,它已流传70年;从吴昌硕(1844~1927)算起,它已流传25年;从王国维(1877~1927)算起,它已流传15年。换言之,中国面孔的自由观念在“五四”之前,已如渴望燃烧的千年干柴堆得神州遍野皆是。故当《新青年》引燃西学火种,便顷刻成燎原之势,至今未熄。
Far before the “May Fourth” new culture was enlightened, the concept of freedom in China’s face long existed in the Confucian-knowledgeist community. It has been circulated nearly 1500 years since Tao Qian (369 ~ 427), and has been on the scene for 900 years since Su Shi (1013 ~ 1101). From Gong Zizhen (1792 ~ 1841), it has been circulating for 70 years; it has been circulating for 25 years since Wu Changshuo (1844-1927); it has been circulating for 15 years since Wang Guowei (1877-1927). In other words, the concept of freedom in China’s face was as vast as the thousands of years of dry-wood firewood that thirsted before the May 4th Incident. Therefore, when the “new youth” ignited the fire of western science, it suddenly became a prairie fire, so far it has not been extinguished.
