庚子年(1900年) 间, 上海报刊时论凸显出一种从上海、东南和南方的视角立论的东南意识, 表现出上海和东南绅商关心时局发展和国家命运的社会主体思想。张謇作为江苏和东南地区的上层绅商代表, 他在庚子年向东南督抚的陈言献策中, 也显露出与上海庚子报刊时论类同的东南意识。特别是他提出的“西北”与“东南”的“名、实”互存论, 是一种深涵政治哲理的时局观, 它为我们考察张謇的政治思想提供了一个新视角。

In the year of 1900 there emerged an awareness of Southeast China in Shanghai newspapers and periodicals' essays on the current political situation, which tended to present their arguments in the perspective of Shanghai, Southeast or South China, expressing Shanghai and Southeast gentlemen and businessmen's concerns for the national situation and destiny.As a representative of upper-level businessmen in areas of Jiangsu and Southeast China, ZHANG Jian also showed his consciousness of Southeast.In particular, he put forward a theory about coexistence of "Northwest" and "Southeast", which was a profound view of the current situation and has provided a fresh perspective for people's exploring ZHANG Jian's thought.
