白寿彝先生对中国边疆研究的理论贡献

Mr. Bai Shouyi's Theoretical Contributions to Chinese Borderland Studies

20世纪50年代,白寿彝先生主张突破皇朝史观,以中华人民共和国的国土为范围,由此上溯,研求中国各民族活动的历史,引发学术界关于中国历史疆域问题的讨论。他强调少数民族的发展对中国社会整体进步的重要意义,指出广大边疆地区封建化是中国封建社会发展的重要表征,并深入阐述了中国历史上统一与分裂的关系,对中国统一多民族国家的形成和发展进行了探讨。他的学术思想对中国边疆研究产生了重要的影响。

In the 1950s, Mr. Bai Shouyi advocated shaking off the imperial view of history and shaping a history of the growth of Chinese nationalities in terms of the domain of China＇ s territory. This initiated a debate over the historical domains of China in the day. Mr. Bai emphasized the importance of the development of minorities to the integrate progress of Chinese society and pointed out that feudalism in the areas of minorities were important features of the development of Chinese feudal society. Moreover, he deeply expounded the relationships between unification and separation in separation in Chinese history and explored the formation and development of China in history as a unified multi-ethnic country. In a word, Mr. Bai＇ s academic thoughts had significant influence on Chinese borderland studies.
