從清末到20世紀20年代,社會主義在中國的傳播既有共通性,又存在一定的區域特點。江南地區具有利于社會主義傳播的交通條件、社會條件、人文條件,并受到上海的輻射,在近代歷史的演進中形成便于社會主義傳播的多種渠道。江南先進知識分子通過報刊內容改寫、編撰小冊子、公開演講、群聚討論等方式,使社會主義在江南"落地",并在與中華優秀傳統文化、江南社會實際的結合中開始指導革命實踐。這一歷史過程說明,社會主義進入中國,固然存在域外影響,但另一方面,社會主義能夠在中國落地扎根,又與中國革命強大的內生性相關。這種內生性推動中華優秀傳統文化與馬克思主義的科學內核充分聯動,促使馬克思主義逐漸與中國實際相結合,從而走出一條社會主義革命新路。

For all its commonalities, the spread of socialism in China from the late Qing Dynasty to the 1920 s, also varied from one region to another. Benefi ting from Shanghai’s development, the Jiangnan region(the Yangtze River Delta), with favorable transport, social and cultural conditions, enjoyed various channels for the spread of socialism in modern times. Progressive intellectuals here had managed to introduce socialism into the region by rewriting newspapers, making pamphlets, and organizing public lectures and group discussions, and started revolutionary practice by combining socialism with fine traditional Chinese culture and the social realities of the Jiangnan region. This historical process reveals that although the introduction of socialism into China had external causes, its survival and development in China should also be attributed to the strong endogeneity of the Chinese revolution. This endogeneity fully promoted the interaction between fi ne traditional Chinese culture and the scientific nucleus of Marxism, gradually adapted Marxism to the actual conditions of China, and thus enabled China to embark on a new path toward socialist revolution.
