What does it mean to be a conservative in Republican China?
Challenging the widely held view that Chinese conservatism set out
to preserve traditional culture and was mainly a cultural movement,
this book proposes a new framework with which to analyze modern
Chinese conservatism. It identifies late Qing culturalist
nationalism, which incorporates traditional culture into concrete
political reforms inspired by modern Western politics, as the
origin of conservatism in the Republican era. During the May Fourth
period, New Culture activists belittled any attempts to reintegrate
traditional culture with modern politics as conservative. What
conservatives in Republican China stood for was essentially this
late Qing culturalist nationalism that rejected squarely the
museumification of traditional culture. Adopting a typological
approach in order to distinguish different types of conservatism by
differentiating various political implications of traditional
culture, this book divides the Chinese conservatism of the
Republican era into four typologies: liberal conservatism,
antimodern conservatism, philosophical conservatism, and
authoritarian conservatism. As such, this book captures - for the
first time - how Chinese conservatism was in constant evolution,
while also showing how its emblematic figures reacted differently
to historical circumstances.
