故宫学术的滥觞(一)

On the Origin of Gugongnology(一)

故宫学的发展经历了从自发到自觉的过程。学界既往对故宫学史所做的研究存在着一些问题,如开始期从1925年故宫博物院成立算起,主要考察的是故宫博物院同仁的成果,并且只要是故宫博物院职工的成果都当作是故宫学的成果,且过于强调了故宫博物院研究人员的阵容,甚至过于夸大故宫学术的成果,等等。我们要考察的故宫学史,应该是在紫禁城成为故宫之后,故宫及其文物、文献成为研究对象,学界对它的研究。而不论学者的身份是国人还是外国人,不论其成果是不是由故宫刊发,即使作者是故宫人,但他研究的内容与故宫学无关,也与故宫学无涉。最主要的,我们的考察要以学术成果为依归,拿成果说话。故宫学是从无到有、从浅入深、从小到大,逐渐发展起来的。本文试图立足故宫学术的发轫期,全方位地探索社会各界对于故宫的研究,并尝试总结此时期故宫学术的特点。

Gugongnology has developed from a spontaneous stage into a conscious stage. However, there are some disputes inthe study of the history of Gugongnology, such as the starting point of Gugongnology, the composition of its academic team and theevaluation of the related research, etc. Gugongnology should be defined as the study of the Palace Museum after the ForbiddenCity became the Palace Museum, regardless of the identity of researchers and the way to publish the research involved. Above all,the academic achievements are crucial to Gugongnology. The thesis focuses on the origin of Gugongnology, attempting to summarize the characteristics of the present research in Gugongnology.
