摘要
1907年孔祥熙从美国留学归来,返回家乡太谷参与山西公理会教育事业。因在调节教地矛盾、促进当地教会发展方面贡献良多,孔祥熙得以从地方教会脱颖而出,代表山西参与全国基督教活动。在东京基督教青年会的外事经历提高了孔祥熙在华人基督教团体中的地位,与宋霭龄的婚姻亦使其涉入国民党高层。在1920年华北赈灾中,孔祥熙以官员与教徒的双重身份游走于华洋之间,协调中外机构的赈灾活动,成为无可争议的华人基督教徒领袖之一。孔祥熙“由教入政、用教经商”,充分利用其教缘、姻缘与地缘的优势,构建起囊括华洋、通贯南北的人际网络,并利用这一网络在政治、外交与经济领域不断发展,最终成为民国史上的著名人物。孔祥熙的发迹之路既与近代以来基督教本色化运动的时代浪潮相关,亦与孔祥熙善用机缘的个人特质以及“中庸之庸”的为人处世之道不无关系。
In 1907,H.H.K’ung returned from studying in the United States and went back to his hometown of Taigu to participate in the Shanxi Christian Church’s educational work.Because he contributed a lot to resolving conflicts between churches and landowners and promoting the development of missionary work,H.H.K’ung stood out from the local churches and represented Shanxi in national Christian activities.A year of foreign affairs experience at the Tokyo Young Men’s Christian Association not only enhanced H.H.K’ung’s status among Chinese Christian groups,but also his marriage to Song Ai-ling under a coincidence made him involved in the Kuomintang’s high-level,laying a foundation for his later political participation.In 1920,during the North China famine relief,H.H.K’ung shuttled between Chinese and foreign parties as both an official and a believer,coordinating relief activities of Chinese and foreign institutions,becoming one of the undis-puted leaders of Chinese Christians.In carrying out Christian activities,H.H.K’ung“entered politics through religion and used religion to do business”,making full use of his advantages of religious ties,marital ties and regional ties to build a personal network that encompassed Chinese and foreign parties and spanned north and south,and used this personal network to continuously develop in political,diplomatic and economic fields,eventually becoming an important figure in Republican history.H.H.K’ung’s rise was both related to the wave of indigenization movement of Christianity since modern times,and also related to H.H.K’ung’s personal characteristics of making good use of opportunities and his way of dealing with people with“the mediocrity of moderation”.
