古史材料扩充与徐中舒上古民族研究

Study on the Material Extension in Ancient History——An Investigation on Xu Zhongshu's Ancient National History Study

20世纪40年代,徐中舒提出了"近代学术的进展,如其说是方法的革新,毋宁说是材料的扩充",旨趣有别于傅斯年"扩张研究的材料"的学术论点。在这一学术思想主导下,徐氏积极扩充书本以外的材料,在中国上古民族史研究中取得了一系列卓越的成就,然在扩充材料的同时,疏于方法理论的革新,研究中也暴露出明显的缺失。20世纪50年代后,徐氏自觉运用马克思主义的理论和方法研究中国古代社会,其学术思想逐渐发生较大的变化。

In the 1940 s, Xu Zhongshu held the view that the modern academic's development is the progress of the material extension rather than the method innovation, which shows a little difference with Fu Sinian's opinion about expanding study materials. Under the viewpoint, Mr. Xu took an active part in extending materials out of books and made a series of prominent achievements in ancient national history. Despite all that, however, there was a lack of innovation of theory and method and thus obvious deficiency had been gradually revealed during his study. After 1950 s, Mr. Xu turned it into the theory and method of Marxism in the study of the ancient Chinese society and great changes took place in his academic ideology.
