It is generally believed that Liang Qichao had developed a relatively mature “evolutionary view of history” by the early 20th century, which he consciously applied to the concrete study of Chinese history. However,  in his later years, after traveling to Europe, he began to question the notion of science’s omnipotence and instead cherished the value of Chinese tradition, leading  his historical perspective  to shift toward “cultural conservatism”. Within analytical frameworks based entirely on a linear view of development, Liang Qichao’s historical outlook is often divided into two starkly  opposed phases and is even evaluated through the rigid  dichotomy of “progressive” versus “conservative”.

摘要

It is generally believed that Liang Qichao had developed a relatively mature “evolutionary view of history” by the early 20th century, which he consciously applied to the concrete study of Chinese history. However,  in his later years, after traveling to Europe, he began to question the notion of science’s omnipotence and instead cherished the value of Chinese tradition, leading  his historical perspective  to shift toward “cultural conservatism”. Within analytical frameworks based entirely on a linear view of development, Liang Qichao’s historical outlook is often divided into two starkly  opposed phases and is even evaluated through the rigid  dichotomy of “progressive” versus “conservative”.
