中国妇女史研究方法的反思与探索

Reflecting and Exploring the Research Methods of Chinese Women History

中国妇女史研究存在三方面的问题,一是囿于史学学科的限制,缺乏对现实问题的关注;二是在研究方法上表现为添加史的重描述轻分析;三是受摩尔根母系就是母权社会理论的影响,简单地认为中国古代妇女地位存在前高后低的走势。之所以存在这三方面的问题,与缺乏科学有效的方法有关,文化史学的文化要素分析法是解决问题的关键。

There are three problems in the research onf the history of Chinese women： firstly, the lack of concern about practical issues as a result of the restrictions historic science; secondly, the unbalance situation of more description and less analysis in the research methods; and thirdly, the simplistic assumption of the first-high-and-then-low status of Chinese women under the influence of Morgan＇s matriarchal society theory. These problems can be contributed to the lack of scientific research methods, and the cultural element analysis in Cultural History is the key to solving the problem.
