Abstract: It expounds the contribution and influence of Liang Qichao，a representative figure of the Reform Movement of 1898, in the following aspects as introducing man-land interrelation and environmental determinism of western modern geography in the diffusion process of western technology and culture between the late of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of R.O.C. It also points out that Liang Qichao is the earliest one who made an appropriate assessment of Xu Xiake. Both were great events, but weren’t recorded in the history of Chinese geography. It is proposed that Liang Qichao's contribution should be affirmed sufficiently and be given an appropriate assessment.

Key words: man-land interrelationism, environmental determinism, diffusion in China, Liang Qichao

摘要： 阐述在清末民初西风东渐日益强劲的背景下，维新派的代表人物梁启超在推介西方近代地理学关于人地关系、地理环境决定论等方面的贡献和影响，同时指出梁启超也是最早正确评价徐霞客其人其事的一位学者。这都是中国地理学史上的大事，但为已有的中国地理学史所不载，应对梁启超的以上贡献给予充分肯定和公正评价。
