与历史上“农民起义”相纠结的几个问题

Some Issues Concerning "Peasant's Uprising" in the History of China

一段时间以来,无论是在史学界还是在文学界,对中国历史上的"农民起义"都陆陆续续地产生了一些"新论"。面对这些"新论",本文从四个方面——"农民起义"的发生是否具有必然性的问题,起义者首领的身份、性格及"借用"问题,关于农民起义是否推动历史前进与发展的问题,农民战争与国之内外矛盾的处理问题进行分析和"辨正",旨在揭示我们在探讨历史问题时必须拥有客观和公正。

For some time now, a few ＂new issues＂ have been put forward now and then concerning the Peasant Uprising in the history of China, in the fields of both history and literature. In face of these ＂new issues＂, this paper tries to discuss and justify the question from four aspects ： the inevitability of the peasant uprising; the identity, character, and issue of ＂borrowing＂ of uprising leaders; the question of peasant uprising promoting history and society ; the question of dealing the peasant uprising and conflict within and outside of the nation. The analysis aims to point out that the discussion of historical issues must be objective and justified.
