摘要： 康有为1897年在《日本变政考》和《日本书目志》中最初使用“宪法”一词，这表明康有为所使用的“宪法”一词直接源于日本，并且是从近代意义上理解宪法概念的。不过，康有为视《春秋》为中国古代的宪法，注意将舶来的“宪法”融入中国传统文化，兼顾文化的开放性和主体性。康有为积极倡导宪法概念，将宪法概念传授于弟子，传播于社会，上呈于朝廷。从其对“宪法”一词的使用频率、宪法问题的研究水平、宪法概念的传播范围和宪法学中国化等方面来看，康有为的识见超越同时代的其他学者和报刊，但他不可能在戊戌变法期间提出立宪法的主张。

Abstract: Kang Youweis initial use of constitutional words in the Japanese Political Reform Examination and the Japanese Bibliographic Records in 1897 indicates that his use of constitutional words originated directly from Japan and he understood constitutional concepts in a modern sense.However，Kang Youwei regarded the Spring and Autumn Period as the ancient Chinese constitution，and pays attention to integrating the imported“constitution”into traditional culture，giving consideration to the openness and subjectivity of culture.Kang Youwei actively advocated the concept of constitution，passed it on to his disciples，disseminated it to the society and presented it to the court.Kang Youwei surpassed contemporary scholars and newspapers interms of the frequency of use of constitutional words，the level of research on constitutional issues，the scope of dissemination of constitutional concepts and the Sinicization of constitutional science.However，he could not possibly put forward the idea of establishing a Constitution during the Reform Movement of 1898.
