唯物史观的新机遇与中国史学的未来发展

New Opportunities for Historical Materialism and the Future Development of the Chinese Historiography

唯物史观对20世纪中国社会、历史与史学产生了十分重要的影响,它帮助人们正确认识中国社会的性质、革命的性质,并在此基础上构建了新民主主义理论,引导中国从半封建半殖民地社会走出,经过资本主义工商业改造,过渡到社会主义社会。经过30多年的探索,唯物史观又使人们认识到中国所处的时期为社会主义初级阶段,人们依据唯物史观,总结历史,又形成了科学发展观,明确了社会主义核心价值体系。社会、历史、史学互动,推动了理论创新,而理论创新的基础就是唯物史观。中共十八大之后,中华民族伟大复兴之"中国梦"已成为中华民族之共识,这将为唯物史观的发展带来新机遇。唯物史观指导历史研究与史书编纂,将会在10个方面主导中国史学的未来发展,即历史编纂、理论建设、重大现实问题的历史研究、地方志及《中华一统志》纂修、中国史学融入国际学术、世界公众对中华民族历史文化的认同、史料整理及数字化、史学研究方法的新突破、新学科的兴起、唯物史观的新阐释与史学的自觉反省。

Historical materialism had a very important influence on the 20th century Chinese society, history, and historiography. It helped people to correctly understand the nature of the Chinese society and revolution, and on this basis construct the new democratic theory that guided China from the semi-feudal and semi--colonial society--after the transformation of capitalist industry and commerce -- to a socialist society. After 30 years of exploration, historical materialism makes people aware of the primary socialist stage of China and accordingly, the scientific development concept has been formed and the socialist core values system has been defmed. Social, historical, and historiographical interactions have promoted theoretical innovation based on historical materialism. After the 18th CPC, ＂China Dream＂ -- the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation -- has become the consensus of the Chinese nation, which will bring new opportunities for the development of historical materialism. Historical research and compiling under the guidance of historical materialism will be leading the future development of the Chinese historiography in the following ten aspects： historical compiling, theoretical construction, historical research of significant practical problems, compiling local history and Zhong Hua Yi Tong Zhi, international academic integration of Chinese historiography, the world public identity of Chinese history and culture, historical data compilation and digitization, breakthroughs of historical research methods, the rise of new disciplines, new interpretations of historical materialism, and conscious introspection of historiography.
