从晚清到民国

by 唐德剛

Opium War unveils the preclude of once-in-two-thousand-year "socio-cultural transformation". In the eyes of historian Tang Degang, cultural historical view is just like natural historical view. The battle in 1840 not only arouses a grand transformation in Chinese social and political system, but also causes hundred years of turbulence along with the history. Only by experience this, did China reconnect with the outside world.鸦片战争，揭开了中国二千年一遇的“社会文化大转型”的序幕。在史学大家唐德刚的慧眼中，“人文史观”一如“自然史观”，1840年的一场战役不仅掀起了中国社会政治形态的大变革，也使历史潮流中的长河，尤需历时百年的诡谲动荡，方能进入壮阔的太平洋。

This is a very interesting book. I'm really interested in the changing society of China, from Qing dynasty to the Republic of China, and then finally to the People's Republic of China. Of course, these three are just the most obvious symbols of Chinese throne and government.
Through the hundreds of years, Chinese people have been through too many events, they have witnessed the demise of the feudal regime, the birth and beginning of the New Democracy, the outstanding ideas and culture of the Republic of China, the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending, and the chaotic scene in which the Kuomintang and the Communist Party jointly deal with the enemy.
In fact, I don't actually think most of Chinese' thoughts and ideas got improved a lot. Many of them are still keeping the feudal ideas and having narrow eye-side. There are so many things that Chinese people need to learn and discover, in order to make progress and develop the country.

对照着台版《晚清七十年》五册到大陆版的一册，因为删减的缘故有些断层，不过对于义和拳的缘起到引致的八国联军，而领土在瓜分之际又如何得以以赔款而非战败国丢失领土这段历史描写弥补了之前对于那段历史认知的空白

可能是由于「阉割版」的缘故，显得过于重复、不连贯、以及说书化。不失为一本近代史书，对于历史人物及事件的看法具有一定的新理解和启发，由此引发接下来对这段众说纷纭的七十年历史的更深学习才是真正价值。

废话太多，主观偏见较强，很多anecdotes 无从考证。建议当野史来看...

对清末，民国事件的评论有比较个性的观点，但缺少科学的论据，更多的是个人的看法
