By: 吴光

"China's Rousseau" Huang Zongxi: A Comprehensive and Authentic Biography "中国卢梭"黄宗羲详尽、完整、可信的传记 This book offers a detailed and authentic account of the life, intellectual development, academic achievements and social interactions of Huang Zongxi, a thinker of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It also elaborates on the social environment, cultural atmosphere, intellectual trends, academic lineage and historical influence that shaped his life. As a great thinker during China's early period of democratic enlightenment, Huang Zongxi has been hailed as "China's Rousseau". His famous quote from *Waiting for the Dawn: On the Prince* is profoundly thought-provoking: "In ancient times, the people were the masters and the ruler was a guest; everything the ruler devoted his life to was for the people. Today, the ruler is the master and the people are the guests; nowhere under heaven can peace be found, for all is for the ruler." The reputation of Zhejiang as a "famous land of literature and documents" bears the mark of Master Lizhou's contributions. Especially in political thought, as well as in summarizing and systematizing the intellectual history of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, Huang Zongxi's great achievements not only equaled those of ancient masters but were even unprecedented. Through his prolific writings, he secured his enduring legacy as a cultural giant and a great thinker. 本书详细真实地记载明末清初思想家黄宗羲的生平活动、思想发展、学术成就、社会交往，并注意叙述传主生活的社会环境、文化氛围、学术思潮、师承传习、历史影响等。作为中国早期民主启蒙时期伟大的思想家，黄宗羲被称为"中国的卢梭"。其《明夷待访录-原君》中的名句振聋发聩："古者以天下为主，君为客，凡君之所毕世而经营者，为天下也；今也以君为主，天下为客，凡天下之无地而得安宁者，为君也。"浙江"文献名邦"的称号，铭刻着梨洲先生的一份贡献。特别是在政治思想领域，以及在总结、整理宋、元、明三代学术思想史方面，黄宗羲的伟大成就，不仅不下于古之名家，甚至是前无古人的。他以丰硕的著述成果，成就了一个文化巨人和伟大思想家的不朽声名。
