以志研史——从《北京志·期刊志》看北京地区期刊的发展状况及与国史的关系

Study History with Local Records—— Taking "Periodicals Records of Beijing Records" as an Example to Look at the Development Situation of Periodicals in the Beijing Region and its Relationship with National History

期刊作为大众传媒的重要工具,其兴衰起伏反映了所处时代政治、经济、科学技术和文化等发展及变革的情况。北京地区的期刊向以数量大、质量高、影响广泛而著称,尤其是中华人民共和国成立以后,北京作为全国的政治、经济、文化中心,为北京期刊事业的发展提供了得天独厚的有利条件。研究北京地区中华人民共和国成立后期刊发展的历史、现状及发展轨迹,不仅可以反映经济社会发展与期刊的相互关系,而且还可以从一个侧面反映出全国期刊事业的总体情况。1949年后北京地区的期刊发展经历了三个发展时期:1949～1965年,期刊事业的初步繁荣时期;1967～1976年,期刊事业的萎缩时期;1977～1993年,期刊事业的激增时期。北京期刊事业的发展脉络不但记录相关年代的政治、经济、科学、文化、教育等各个领域的活动和发展状况,而且在社会动荡和变革时期,党和政府通过期刊宣传各项政策措施、宣传马列主义毛泽东思想、宣讲各种科学知识,对社会改革和发展起到积极的促进作用,期刊的功能和重要地位也由此得到充分的体现。

The rise and decline of periodicals as an important tool of mass media reflects development and changes of politics, economy, science and technology, and culture of the age. Periodicals in the Beijing region have been well-known for their large quantity, high quality, and wide influence. Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Beijing, as the political, economical, and cultural center of the whole country, has provided exceptional favorable conditions for the development of the Beijing periodicals cause. Research on the history, current status, and traces of development of periodicals in the Beijing region since the founding of the PRC, can not only reflect the interactive relationship between economic and social development and periodicals, but also reflect from one side the overall situation of the country’s periodicals cause. The development of periodicals in Beijing region since 1949 has undergone three development stages: 1949-1965, the initial prosperous period of the periodicals cause; 1967-1976, the shrinkage period of the periodicals cause; 1977-1993, the proliferation period of the periodicals cause. The development traces of the Beijing periodicals cause not only recorded activities and development of politics, economy, science, culture, and education in the relevant ages, but also played a positive stimulating role in social reform and development during a period of social turmoil and changes. Through periodicals, the Communist Party and the government promoted various policy measures, Marxism and Leninism and Mao Zedong Thoughts, and various scientific knowledge. This has fully demonstrated the function and important position of periodicals.
