建国后毛泽东对中国史学的影响

Mao Zedong's Influence on Chinese Historiography after the Founding of the PRC

毛泽东一生熟读史籍,具有深厚的历史学素养。建国后,毛泽东关心历史科学的研究,对中国历史学的发展产生了很大影响。他高度重视运用历史唯物主义的观点和方法去指导中国历史学的研究;提倡百家争鸣,厚今薄古,古为今用;参与了相关的史学论争,并影响和左右着论争。但是,所谓的“史学革命”、“文革”史学也受到了毛泽东“左”倾错误论点的影响。

Mao Zedong was a master of Chinese history with high historical comprehension. After the founding of PRC , Mao Zedong was concerned with the development and progress of the research on Chinese history and exerted a great influence on it. He attached great importance to applying historical materialism to guide the researeh on Chinese history; he proposed competition among many schools, emphasising the study of history for the use of present struggle; he personally participated in disputes over historical issues and heavily affected and even dominated them. However, Mao Zedong＇s “left” view also affected the so-called “History Revolution” and the history of “Cultural Revolution”.
