维新变法中康有为的创教努力及其影响

一些主要研究把维新变法中康有为利用孔子、创立孔教的努力仅仅视作是他为推动变法所施用的一个方便法门，或说是实现变法目的的权宜手段，是新内容而旧形式。其实，创教本身也是康有为追求的一个重要目标。除了希冀用孔子这个招牌掩护变法主张、减少变法的阻力外，出于对西方的误读——把宗教发达当成列强致胜的一个根基。他还希望通过宗教的振兴来富强国家。另外，他还乞灵通过和西方列强制定建立在平等基础上的教律来解决当时的教案问题。维新变法中康有为创立孔教的努力，目标没有实现。适得其反，变法中许多分歧不是来自维新变法本身，反而是围绕孔教问题引起许多无谓的斗争，徒然增加了变法的阻力和难度。
