Throwing out What is False and Holding on to What Is Real: 50 Years of Chinese Scholarship on the Bai Lang Rebellion

爆发于1911-1914年间的白朗起义是民国时期一次最大规模的农民起义。中国近代史学者对民国时期的土匪的研究历史悠久，对白朗起义的研究也有特别的兴趣。距离白朗起义失败已经90多年了，在普通民众特别是中国的近代史研究者的眼中，对白朗起义的评价和中国这90多年风风雨雨的历史一样，饱经岁月的沧桑。笔者在此文中将回顾这些变化，由此窥视这些年来中国社会的剧烈变化。

The Bai Lang Rebellion from 1911 to 1914 was the greatest peasant uprising of the Republican period. In the process of Researching republican-period bandits, historians of modern China have also shown great interest in Bai Lang＇s rebellion, Over the 90 or more years since Bai Lang＇s death, the attitudes not only of ordinary Chinese people but also of historians towards his achievement have undergone tumultuous change. The authors look back on the chan- ging attitudes of Chinese historians towards Bai Lang and his ＂Righteous Rebellion＂, and place those changes context of the dramatic transformation taking place in China itself.
