曾国藩、洪秀全在政治、军事方面是拼死相争的对手,但从文化史的角度看,又同为中西文化大交汇初期中国知识分子的代表人物。洪秀全代表了“草根”阶层,集两千年农民战争、农民革命思想之大成;曾国藩代表了传统士大夫阶层,儒家修、齐、治、平的经世致用之学,到他这里发挥到了极致。他们都是中国传统文化终结式的人物,都是近代中西文化会通的前驱先路人物。他们的文化品格都对近代中国的政治史、思想史、文化史进程产生了深刻的影响。
Tseng Kuo-fan and Hong Xiu-quan are opponents of desperate struggle in the political and military fields. However, from the perspective of cultural history, they are also representatives of Chinese intellectuals in the early stages of the meeting of Chinese and Western cultures. Hong Xiuquan has represented the “grassroots” class and set the culmination of two thousand years of peasant war and farmer revolutionary ideas. Zeng Guofan has represented the tradition of scholarship, Confucianism, Qi, governance and equality, Extreme. All of them are the characters of the end of Chinese traditional culture and they are all pioneers of modern Chinese and Western cultures. Their cultural characteristics have had a profound impact on the political, intellectual and cultural history of modern China.
