1911年辛亥革命推翻了满清统治，开创了中国的共和时代。正如郑晓伟在本书开头所指出的，传统史学对辛亥革命的研究主要集中在政治层面。一些人强调国民党（中国国民党）的前身同盟会在发动革命中的作用，而马克思主义历史学家则倾向于将其解释为反对清朝封建统治的资产阶级革命。另一种方法将革命置于社会历史的框架中，考察政治精英如何重新定义中央和地方政府之间的关系。第三种观点借鉴了现代化理论，将革命视为建立现代民族国家的尝试。然而，这些研究都没有详细讨论思想和文化在动员群众和塑造革命道路方面的重要性，因此郑的专著是对现有文献的补充和超越的及时干预。
The 1911 Revolution overthrew Manchu rule, ushering in the Republican era in China. As Xiaowei Zheng indicates at the beginning of this book, the traditional historiography on the 1911 Revolution focuses largely on the political dimension. Some stress the role of the Tongmenghui, the predecessor of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party), in launching the revolution, while Marxist historians have tended to explain it as a bourgeois revolution against the feudal rule of the Qing dynasty. Another approach positions the revolution in the framework of social history, examining how political elites redefined the relations between the central and local governments. The third perspective draws on modernisation theory, regarding the revolution as an attempt to build a modern nation-state. However, none of these studies have discussed in detail the significance of ideas and culture in mobilising the masses and shaping the path of the revolution, and Zheng’s monograph is therefore a timely intervention to complement and transcend the existing literature.
