“文革”史研究的局限及其应有的新视角

Research Limitation of Cultural Revolution History and Its Due New Perspectives

在"文革"史研究中,国内外学者基本遵循"上层斗争说"和"社会冲突说"两种解释路径。两种解释路径将考察的历史主体均局限于社会的某一部分人,忽略了不同阶层之间的影响和互动,造成对许多历史事实认识和理解的相互冲突。对"文革"的研究应当有新的视角,即从中国由传统农业社会到现代工业社会转型这一大的历史进程的角度,从社会分层的角度,从国家与社会关系的角度来审视"文革",以深化对"文革"的研究。

When studying the history of Cultural Revolution,scholars home and abroad basically follows two explanatory approaches：one is the theory of conflicts within upper echelons and the other is the theory of social conflicts.The scholars holding the explanatory approaches confine the historical subjects to be examined in one part of people in the society and neglects the influence and interaction among different classes,which leads to the contradictions in the learning and understanding of variety of historical facts.New perspectives are to be had to study Cultural Revolution,that is,from the perspectives of Chinese historical transformation from traditional agricultural society to modern industrial society,social stratification and of the relationship between country and society so that the study of Cultural Revolution can be deepened.
