理初学派的历史地理研究——以俞正燮、程恩泽为例

The Historical Geography Study of Lichu School:Taking Yu Zhengxie and Chen Enze as an Example

理初学派,是清代嘉道时期思想领域颇具影响的一个学术流派,该派的创始人为皖派著名学者俞正燮。理初学派以俞正燮、程恩泽为首,其他核心成员有汪文台、汤球、程鸿诏等。该派在历史地理研究上既承续乾嘉学派,又独具特色。他们所采用的方法主要是考据,但又能将考据学与"经世致用"相结合,在边疆地理学和地名学研究上取得了重要的成绩,为清代地理学的发展作出了重要的贡献。

Lichu School was an influential academic school from the Jiaqing Emperor time to the Daoguang Emperor time. The founder of Lichu School was Yu Zhengxie, an outstanding Anhui scholar. This school also had other important members such as Cheng Enze, Wang Wentai, Tang Qiu, Cheng Hongzhao and so on. In the historical geography study, this school not only inherited the Qianjia School, but also had its own characteristics. They mainly used the method of textual criticism, but could combine the textual criticism with the thought of ＂pragmatic use＂. This school made great achievement in the border geography and the geographic name study and made great contribution to geography＇ s development in the Qing Dynasty.
