一晚近的一些学者认为,近代中国的民主理念肇端于清末的改良派,当时的一些著名人物,如郑观应,就已经在用“民权”一词阐发自己的民主思想。但我们必须承认的一个事实是,近代以来有关民主观念的大规模讨论,大致要到“五四” Some scholars in the late one night thought that the concept of democracy in modern China began with the reformists in the late Qing Dynasty. Some prominent figures at that time, such as Zheng Guanying, were already using their word “civil rights” to expound their democratic ideas. However, one fact we must admit is that the large-scale discussions on the concept of democracy in modern times have generally come to the “May 4th”
