摘要: 系统追溯王元化对王国维、陈寅恪的价值认祖,可从两个视角去研读。若着眼于清华学脉的微观情结,则王元化与王国维、陈寅恪的缘分不无传奇性,元化8岁前随父母居住清华南院,王国维、陈寅恪恰为其左邻右舍,晚年元化深挚认同王国维、陈寅恪为其人格符号的价值源头,仿佛戏剧性"返老还童"。若着眼于百年中华学统谱系,则这又是关涉现代思想史的宏观叙事,既然能证明标志学统的现代分娩及人格表征的三个人物(梁启超、王国维、陈寅恪)皆具清华背景,那么,称清华学统为中华学统之现代典范也就当仁不让。而晚年王元化于20世纪90年代经"第三次反思"后追认王国维、陈寅恪的价值源头,进而跻身于将百年中华学统从20世纪承续到21世纪的托命者行列,也就水到渠成。王国维、陈寅恪、王元化在各自演绎学统的百年演进方面角色纷呈:王国维在清末扮演了诗意栖居的"学术逸民",陈寅恪在鼎革前后历经了从"学术逸民"到"学术遗民"的角色转换,王元化则以"后学术遗民"角色担当了现代学统的跨世纪接力。

Abstract: WANG Yuan-hua's recognition of WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que as his value origin can be examined from two perspectives. From the perspective of the microscopic complex of Tsinghua lineage, WANG Yuan-hua's tie to WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que is legendary. When WANG lived in the South Yard of Tsinghua University with his parents before the age of eight, WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que happened to be his close neighbors. In his late years, WANG theatrically returned to his “childhood” with a deep recognition of WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que as the value origin of personality symbols. From the perspective of Chinese lineage of learning in the past century, this is related to the macro narrative of modern intellectual history. Since all of the three representatives(LIANG Qi-chao, WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que) who marked the modern development of the academic tradition had Tsinghua background, it is legitimate to claim that Tsinghua lineage is the modern paradigm of Chinese lineage of learning. Therefore, WANG's recognition of WANG Guo-wei and CHEN Yin-que as his value origin after his “third reflection” in the 1990s naturally made him a person who transmits the one-hundred-year academic tradition from the 20th century to the 21st century. WANG Guo-wei, CHEN Yin-que and WANG Yuan-hua played different roles in promoting the development of the academic tradition in the past century: WANG Guo-wei was an “academic hermit” who dwelled poetically in the late Qing Dynasty; CHEN Yin-que shifted his role from an “academic hermit” to an “academic adherent of the former period” after the revolution; and WANG Yuan-hua transmitted modern tradition in the cross-century period as a “post-adherent”.
