民国十二年至十四年(1923-1925)之间,北平学界曾经掀起过一场纪念清代学者戴东原二百年生日的活动。活动以民国十三年(1924)一月十九日于北京召开的生日纪念会为重心,一时间东原研究俨然成为学界热门。纪念活动中展开的东原研究,其最可注意者在于对东原“哲学思想”与“科学精神”的注重,并因此成为现代学术史上戴东原形象重塑的重要环节,亦可视作当时学者于本国传统学术中发掘现代性因素的典型个案。 Between twelve and fourteen years of the Republic of China (1923-1925), Peking academics had set off a campaign to commemorate the 200th birthday of Dai Dongyuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty. The activity centered on the birthday commemorative meeting held in Beijing on January 19, 1913 (1924). For a time, the study of Dongyuan became a hot topic in academic circles. The most noteworthy of the study of Dongyuan started in commemoration activities is to pay attention to Dongyuan’s “philosophical thought” and “scientific spirit” and thus become an important link in the reconstruction of Dai Dongyuan’s image in modern academic history. It can also be regarded as a scholar of the time A typical case of discovering the factors of modernity in the traditional Chinese academic.
