近二十年中国《燕行录》研究综述

Review the Literature on "Yanxing Record" in the Latest 20 Years in China

《燕行录》是古代东亚地区重要的"域外汉籍",它的体裁各异,包括日记、诗歌、杂录笔谈等。其记载内容更是包罗万象,有对中国山川风貌的描写、风土民俗的记述,亦有对中国时事政治、经济、文化动态的记录,由于《燕行录》作者外邦之人的身份,其观察和记录往往比中国本土同时期的记载更为细致,因而具有极为重要的史料价值。同时它也见证了古代中朝之间数百年的文化交流。近几年随着《燕行录》的整理出版,学界对此关注程度日益加大,学者们对《燕行录》的研究视角也呈多元化的趋势发展。文章主要回顾了近二十年来在中国大陆公开发表的关于《燕行录》的研究概况和探讨《燕行录》与中国东北史的研究。
