郑观应的《罗浮待鹤山人诗草》洋溢着变法自强思想。他用诗歌凸显“古今之变局”论和“春秋战国”说的历史观和时局观,作为亟言“变法宜决断”的依据。他在吟咏中所表达的变法自强思想,始终把“改科举”、“设学校”、“育人才”放在首位。在主张“练兵将”、“制军器”的同时,强调“决胜于商战”。其又一特色是明确主张进行以改官制为中心的政治改革,并有抨击“专制”、向往“民权”的吟咏。“此际朝廷求变法,可如俄日合经营”,郑的这种心声与维新派同调。但他缺少实践维新的献身精神和主体意识,故只是维新论者,还不是维新派。 Zheng Guan-ying’s “Luo Fu Heshan people poetic” filled with the idea of ​​reform self-reliance. He uses poetry to highlight the theory of history and the view of the times in the theory of “changing the status quo of ancient and modern times” and “the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States,” as the basis for urgently saying that “reform should be decided”. The method he expressed in his chanting self-reliance thinking, always put “change imperial examinations”, “set up schools”, “educate talent” in the first place. While advocating “training soldiers,” “military strategists,” they emphasized “winning over commercial warfare.” Another feature of this is the clear advocacy of political reforms centered on the reform of the government and the criticism of “tyranny” and the longing for “civil rights.” “At this moment, the court sought change in law and could operate as Russia-Japan joint venture.” This kind of aspiration of Zheng aligns with the reformists. However, he lacks the devotion and subject consciousness of practicing rejuvenation. Therefore, he is only a reformer and not a reformer.
