국문 초록

“Asia” is a spatial concept that lies between the nation-state and the world. Against the backdrop of Western colonialism and Japan's efforts to promote the “Greater Asia,” intellectuals in the late Qing and early Republican period gradually shifted the understanding of “Asia” from a mere “geographical category” to a more profound “cultural category,” ultimately shaping the regional landscape of “Cultural Asia.” By examining the ideas of Huang Zunxian, Wang Tao, and Tang Caichang on “shared language and race” and “alliance with Japan to resist Russia,” the proposals of Zhang Taiyan, Liu Shipei, and Liang Qichao to transcend “nationalism” and seek the union of weaker nations, as well as the attempts by Sun Yat-sen and Li Dazhao to construct a “New Asian Order,” this study reveals that their views of Asia all reflect the effort to define China's position within the Asian and world order, resistance to colonialism and expansionism, the internal dissolution of national centrality, and the advocacy of Asian unity. The search for Asia reflects the complex process of accepting, resisting, and transforming Western learning, while also representing a response to Western hegemony, and embodying the awareness of integrating into the world and the difficult exploration of modern civilization paradigms.

영문 초록

“亚洲”是介于国家与世界之间的空间概念。在西方殖民主义与日本兴亚的背景下，清末民初的知识分子逐渐将“亚洲”从一个单纯的“地理范畴”转向了更为深刻的“文化范畴”，最终塑造了“文化亚洲”的区域图景。通过梳理黄遵宪、王韬与唐才常的“同文同种”与“联日抗俄”思想，章太炎、刘师培和梁启超的超越“国族本位”、谋求弱小国家联合的主张，以及孙中山、李大钊对“亚洲新秩序”构建的尝试，发现他们的亚洲观均体现了界定中国在亚洲与世界秩序中的地位、对外反抗殖民与扩张、对内消解国家中心、倡导亚洲联合的特点。寻求亚洲的背后，反映了国人对西学的接受、抵制与改造的复杂经历，也体现了他们与西方霸权对抗的反应，同时蕴含了融入世界的自觉意识与追求现代文明范式的艰难探索。
