摘要： 务实是江南文化一个鲜明特点，历史悠久，表现广泛。讲实学、办实事、重实效、求实惠。自明清时期至近现代工商业的发展，江南人重视物质生活的特点，精明能干形象的形成，科举人才、科技人才的大批涌现，都是江南文化务实精神的重要体现。在中国近代史上，岭南地区所出的开风气之先的思想家最为突出，湖湘地区所出政治家最为突出，江南地区所出科学家最为突出。某一地区个别杰出人物的出现，确有许多偶然性，但如果某种类型的人才成批成群出现，一定与其所在地区的文化传统有关。务实精神是中华文化实用理性的体现，其本质是在物质与精神之间，更加重视物质；在现实与理想之间，更加重视现实；在今世与来世之间，更加重视今世。

关键词: 江南文化, 务实精神

Abstract: A distinctive feature of Jiang Nan (South of the Yangtze River) culture is “pragmatic”, which has had a long tradition and wide expressions. In the history of modern China, intelligent and capable people living in Jiang Nan tended to stress their material life, and there emerged a lot of men and women of science and technology. This is closely related to the regional cultural tradition. The pragmatic spirit is an expression of Chinese cultural practical reason. Its essence lies in that people pay more attention to material than spiritual, to realistic than ideal, and to life than afterlife.

Key words: culture in the south of the Yangtze River, pragmatic spirit
