构建科学的中国现代史学科体系

On the Construction of a Scientific System for Modern Chinese History

建国以来,中国现代史学科的学术研究有了很大的发展和提高,但仍存在一些根本性的、制约学科发展的重大问题,探索建立中国现代史的新的学科体系已成为推动学术发展的必需。中国现代史学科必须厘清中国现代史的思路、主线,应给辛亥革命和南京临时政府以恰当的历史定位,不能忽视北洋历史的研究及对北洋时期历史人物的客观评价,必须深化和拓展抗战史研究领域。如何认识国共两党关系及其改造中国的不同方案,是构建中国现代史学科新体系的关键。深化中国现代史研究,应坚持史料第一性和多样性统一的原则,历史的连续性、国际性和现代性的原则,历史研究的科学性、情感性和现实性统一的原则。

Since the founding of the P. R. C. , great achievements have been made in academic re- search and staff cultivation in the field of modern Chinese history. However, some fundamental issues restricting its development remain to be solved and the exploration of a new scientific system is a necessity. It is essential to sort out the path of development and main thread for Chinese modern history. First, the Revolution of 1911 and Nanjing Provisional Government should be given proper historical significance. Second, historical figures in the Northern Warlords Government require subjective evaluation. Third, study on historical events during the Anti-Japanese War ought to be deepened and expanded. The re- search on Chinese modern history needs to follow three principles. The priority of historical materials ought to be combined with exhaustiveness; continuity, internationality and modernity of history ought to be inte^rated~ the exploration of history is to be scientific, affective and nractical.
