摘　　要：中国社会科学院近代史研究所藏有数量丰富的晚清重臣李鸿藻存札,其中有10余通为李鸿藻表弟、天津大盐商姚学源在甲午战争前后所写。在这些信札中,姚学源对当时的政局与战局多有记述与议论,并于旅顺陷落之后一再表达主张议和的观点,还透露了天津的种种民情与政情,诸如战争恐慌的不断上升与办理团练的成效低下。这些信札为观察甲午战争提供了一个独特的视角,也反映出姚学源作为“绅商”在天津官场拥有的丰富人脉。The Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has a substantial collection of correspondences to Li Hongzao,a prominent minister during the late Qing dynasty.Among these records,more than ten letters were from Yao Xueyuan,Li's cousin and a significant salt merchant in Tianjin before and after the Sino-Japanese War.Within these correspondences,Yao provided detailed accounts and analyses of the political and war situation at the time.He consistently articulated his views advocating peace after the fall of Port Arthur(Lv Shun)while also shedding light on various public and political conditions in Tianjin,including escalating war-related apprehensions and inefficiencies in managing local militias.These correspondences offer a distinctive vantage point on the Sino-Japanese War and underscore Yao's extensive connections with officials in Tianjin as a"gentry merchant."
