今天,我想讲一些有关中国善会善堂史中近代以来的事情。主要的话题是清末、民国初年之际,曾经使用的“善举”概念,经历了怎样的发展变化。关于善会善堂大体上的历史,我写了《中国善会善堂史研究》(京都,同朋舍1997年),其后经伍跃、杨文信、张学锋将其翻译成中文,2005年商务印书馆正式出版。因此,今天的话题就不涉及该书已陈述过的内容了。 Today, I would like to say something about the history of China’s goodwill church since modern times. The main topic is the late Qing Dynasty, the early Republican period, once used “charity” concept, has experienced what kind of development and change. On the general history of the Good Church of Good Will, I wrote “Study on the History of Good Church of Good Church in China” (Kyoto, Tongpeng 1997) and later translated it into Chinese by Wu Yue, Yang Wenxin and Zhang Xuefeng The official publication of the library. Therefore, today’s topic does not cover what the book has already stated.
