포스트사회주의 중국의 역사 인식― 리쩌허우의 근현대 사상사론 다시 읽기

Abstract

In this article, I have divided the Chinese modern long-term modernization into the short-term 40 years(post-socialist period), the mid-term 70 years(the People's Republic of China), and the long-term 180 years(capitalism), using the concept of Fernand Braudel’s time and the time zone of East Asia as a reference system. Taking the above discussion as a premise, I examined the modern theory of ideological history of LI Ze-hou with a view to the question of the historical recognition of China in the post-socialist period. He regarded the entire modern and contemporary history of China as a process of development of the advanced revolutionary ideology. He focused on the duality of each advanced ideology. Each advanced ideology had limitations that could not escape the feudal ritual rooted in the small-scale agricultural economy while having socialist utopian character. These limitations persisted after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, which led to the creation of a ‘historical satire’. LI Ze-hou outlined the internal dynamics of China's modern revolution as a dual task of enlightenment and rescue. The mutual promotion of anti-feudalism enlightenment and anti-imperialism rescue is a great accomplishment of the 5.4 New Cultural Movement. But it was a variation duet of the desperate need to escape from the crisis. The new era of reform and openness should revive the deep lessons of history and seek ‘transformational creation;’. It is to emphasize the necessity of the critical succession of the ‘5.4’ spirit in order to fulfill the task of the anti-feudalism enlightenment which was lost or weakened by the reservation of the past revolutionary process. Furthermore, as a goal of transformative creation, LI presented the situation of ‘Confucianism in the 4th period’, and insisted on ‘apply Western system to China’ as a specific method.
