民国时期西洋史学史课程检视

A Reviewing on the Courses of Western Historiography in the Republic of China

民国时期的"西洋史学史"课程,是西方史学输入中国的主要途径之一。1924年陈翰笙在北大开设"欧美史学史",盖为这一科目进入大学讲堂之始。其后,随着各校纷纷建制史学系,"西洋史学史"课程明显增多,教员群体略具规模,若刘崇鋐、孔繁霱、黄文山、杨鸿烈、雷海宗、朱谦之、噶邦福、张贵永、常乃惪、皮名举、周谷城、周谦冲、鄢远猷、胡鲁士、史考特等,他们大多游学欧美有年,受过专业的史学训练,归国执教,在传播西方史学前沿知识,推动中国的西方史学史学科发展方面发挥积极作用。

The course of western historiography was one of the main ways in which western historiography was introduced into China in the Republic of China. Chen Hansheng offered a course of European and American Historiography in Peking University in 1924, and this was the first time that such course was offered in colleges of China. Soon afterwards, with establishment of departments of history in universities, courses of western historiography and faculties who offered them increased dramatically, such as Liu Chonghong, Kong Fanyu, Huang Wenshan, Yang Honglie, Lei Haizong, Zhu Qianzhi, Gapanovich, Zhang Guiyong, Chang Naide, Pi Mingju, Zhou Gucheng, Zhou Qianchong, Yan Yuanyou, Kroes, Scott, etc.. Most of them had studied in Europe and America for years, and were trained to become historians. Through teaching in colleges, they promoted the disseminating of cutting- edge western historiography and development of western historiography in China.
