17～21世纪东北边疆史学研究述评

Review on historical research on the northeastern frontier during the 17^(th) to 21^(st) centuries

农民问题与边疆问题是推动中国历史发展的两大动力。在历史上,边疆问题亦即是民族问题,这突出表现为汉族与各少数民族之间的联系与冲突、中原王朝与边疆地区的交往与战争等。东北边疆是中国"三北"地区重要的一环,东北边疆史研究自明末清初以来便已引起学者们的重视。在中国边疆研究中,东北边疆研究历史悠久、成果丰硕、学科体系完善。但东北边疆史学研究存在很多不足之处,例如理论准备不足、史料挖掘不够、认识陷入误区、学科体系创新不足等。这实为今后拓展、深化东北边疆史学研究所应避免的。

The peasants＇ problem and frontier problem are two power forces that push development of Chi- nese history. In history, frontier problem was also ethnical problem, which was represented by contact and conflict between Han nationality and ethnic minorities, the exchange and wars between the Central Plains and frontier area, etc. The northeastern frontier is an important tache of Chinese ＂three northeastern regions＂ , the research of northeastern frontier history had been always highly regarded by scholars since the end of Ming dy- nasty and beginning of Qing dynasty. In the Chinese frontier research, the northeastern history research had a long history, rich achievements and perfect subject system. However, there＇re still some deficiencies, i.e. short of theory preparation, insufficient historical reference data, error in knowledge acquisition, imperfect subject system innovation, and so on. All these should be avoided in exploiting and deepening northeastern frontier history research.
