关于建构“田野中国学”的几点思考

Some Consideration on Establishing Field China Studies

"田野中国学"并不是提出新的学问,而是对中国民族学、人类学、民俗学、地方史志、考古学等学科数十年来对中国"民间文化"及"少数民族文化"研究成果的一项总结性提升。这些研究成果无论从学术抱负还是理论与方法,都已经具备了中国特色,彰显了中国精神,而且正在产生着重要的影响,也必将带来一个中国文化的新时期。为呼应这个新兴学术时期的到来,我们适时提出一个新的学科名词"田野中国学",为这个学术思潮提供更理想的名称、更规范的理论与方法、更明确的研究目标与意义,为深入开展中国文化研究奠定更加坚实的学理基础。

Field China Studies doesn＇t present new knowledge, but it is a summafive advance for the research results of CHINESE FOLK CULTURE and Minority Culture of some disciplines for decades, such as ETHNOLOGY, Anthropology, Folklore, Local Chronicles, and Archaeology and so on. These research results are branded by Chinese characteristics in academic aspiration, theory and method and highlight Chinese spirit. They are making a great impact and will bring Chinese culture a new period. In order to welcome the coming of the new academic period, we timely put forward a new discipline Field China Studies and provide a more ideal definition, more normative theory and method and more clear research goal and significance in order to lay a more sound foundation for the deep research on Chinese culture.
