中国政治传统中积累了深厚的立国智慧,注重统一、安定之后的政教重建.古典革命本身意味着社会政治风化的向善提升、最终指向政治共同体精神的教化变迁.更化就代表了政治体致力于善治的文明化转变.儒家传统对于更化有全盘复古和与时损益两种激缓进路,渐进调适论在历史中更显出实践稳健性.政治更化着眼于立国构造中政治精英群体的养成,以此影响立国精神与政治权力再分配,体现出兼顾政治信念与宪制结构的治体论意识.文教振兴因此有其宪制蕴涵.更化立国的政治技艺,避免全盘复古的激进变法冲动,也避免将政治转型急切聚焦于政体制度的大规模改变.这是我们理解中国政治变迁的关键维度.%Profound political insights on state-building have been developed and accumulated in the time-honored Chinese tradition. A regime should turn to the reconstruction of political and moral order after it realizes unity and security. Revolution in a classical sense involves the upward promotion of social and political spirit through cultural remolding. Reform in a tradition-al sense represents the civilizing pattern aiming at ideal governance. There are two Confucianist approaches to such reform,the wholesale restoration of the ancient model, and the gradual adjustment which shows more practical flexibility. Political reform focuses on fostering cultural and political elite groups at the initial stages of state-building that guides the formation of the na-tional spirit and redistribution of powers. The stress on cultural and moral reconstruction contains constitutional implications. A-voiding the wholesale restoration of the ancient model and the preoccupation with the reform of polity,the wisdom of such reform provides a key dimension to understand Chinese political changes.
