In an age when a dynasty had fallen and the state had changed hands, a solitary scholar quietly took up his brush amid the ruins. What he wrote was not an elegy for the dead, but a challenge to imperial rule and a call to the future. In Waiting for the Dawn, Huang Zongxi raised an almost unthinkable question: if the ruler is not the choice of Heaven but merely the greatest self-seeker in the realm; if the people's freedom and property ought to be protected by law rather than taken away at the ruler's whim; if the realm belongs to the people of the realm, and the ruler is no more than a guest lodged upon it, then could China also have its own path to constitutional government? - Was constitutional government possible in imperial China? - In what ways were Huang Zongxi's institutional proposals ahead of their time? - Why did constitutional revolution break out in Western Europe but struggle to take hold in China? - Between ideal and reality, which path did Huang Zongxi choose?

黄宗羲的叛逆:古代中国能走向宪政吗?
2025-04-27
在王朝倾覆、社稷易主的年代,一位孤独的学者在废墟中静静提笔。
他写下的,不是悼亡的哀歌,而是对帝制的挑战,对未来的召唤。
黄宗羲,用《明夷待访录》提出了一个几乎无法想象的问题:
如果君主并非天命所归,而只是天下最大的利己者;
如果百姓的自由与财产,理应受到法的保护而非君意的剥夺;
如果天下应以天下人为主,而君王不过是寄托其上的一位客人——
那么,中国,是否也能拥有自己的宪政之路?
与此同时,在地球的另一端,封建契约、议会制度、启蒙思想正在孕育新的世界。
而古代中国,是否也曾闪现过类似的曙光?黄宗羲的思想,究竟是历史的孤岛,还是被遗忘的航标?
这次分享,我们将一起探讨:
- 古代中国有没有宪政的可能性?
- 黄宗羲提出的制度设想有哪些超前之处?
- 为什么宪政革命在西欧爆发,而在中国难以为继?
- 理想与现实之间,黄宗羲选择了怎样的道路?
如果你想了解历史的另一种可能,如果你愿意倾听一位古人跨越时代的回响,
欢迎本周五来分享讨论。
