古代西太平洋贸易网与东方历史研究

Ancient Western Pacific Trade Network and Oriental History Research

东方历史是整个人类历史的重要组成部分,在长期发展过程中形成自己的鲜明特色与内涵,仅以文化的视角来解释东方社会历史是远远不够的,还必须深入到经济与国家对外交往的行为当中去理解和把握。加强东方历史的宏观研究,有助于认识人类社会发展的总规律与历史全貌,从长远的历史视角观察社会的整体变迁。人类历史是一部相互交流的历史,通过不同文明与发展水平之间的交往,促进共同进步与共生。以区域史观和全球史观对东方历史上一些重大问题予以新的探讨,是当前东方国家整体崛起形势下的现实需要,有助于拓展世界历史研究。

Oriental history is an important part of human history,and it has developed its own distinctive features and meanings in the long process of evolution.Therefore,it is far from enough to explain the eastern social history from the perspective of culture,which asks us to understand and grasp it by delving into the economy and national behaviors on foreign exchanges.Strengthening the macro research on oriental history contributes to understanding the general law as well as historical panorama of human society development,and observing the overall changes of society from the long-term historical perspective.The history of mankind is a history of interaction,within which the exchanges between different civilization and development help to promote common progress and co-existence.With the rising of the oriental countries as a whole,it is the practical need to launch a new study on major issues of the oriental history from the perspectives of regional and global view of history,which also can help to expand the world history research.
