民国时期的边政研究与民族学——从杨成志的一篇旧文说起

Frontier Politics Studies and Ethnology in the Republic of China: Based on anArticle of Yang Chengzhi

杨成志1941年发表的《边政研究导论——十个应先认识的基本名词与意义》一文,对边政研究的内容及方法作了精到阐述,揭示了边政研究的内涵和思想背景,强调了边政研究与民族学的密切关联,反映了当时中国民族学的现实关怀及努力方向。对比吴文藻《边政学发凡》及参照时人关于民族学与边政研究关系的论述,可看出当时学界致力于国族建构和边疆建设的共同努力。

An Introduction to Frontier Politics Studies written by Yang Chengzhi was published in 1941.The contents and methods of studies on frontier politics were precisely explained in this article.The meaning and background of studies on frontier politics were also revealed.In addition,the article emphasized the correlation between ethnology and frontier politics,also reflected practical care and developmental orientation of ethnology in China at that time.By seeing also Wu Wenzao's Establishing Frontier Politics Studies and other works about frontier researches,it is obvious that the academic circle in 1930-40s made great efforts to promote united national construction and border areas development.
