从珠江文化研究试论地方学的内容体系——以广东省珠江文化研究会十五年研究成果为例

On the Content and System of Local Studies Based on the Pearl River Culture Research——Taking the 15-years Research Achievement of Guangdong Research Association of the Pearl River Culture for Example

基于地方学发育尚未成熟,不少问题见仁见智,难以定于一尊,以广东省珠江文化研究会15年研究工作为例,将其成果《珠江文化丛书》划分为珠江文化发展史、珠江海上丝路历史文化、珠江文化门类、珠江文化产业、珠江历史名人,以及珠江文化的自然、人文基础研究六大类。据此,以珠江学为出发点,得出地方学的研究对象应为有独特文化内涵的某一地理单元,研究内容为其相应区域的文化。研究对象决定研究任务,在于为解决区域发展提供历史借鉴和参考。地方学属于区域科学的范围,是一门综合性、边缘性、区域性和应用性相结合的科学,应采用文献资料和野外考察相结合的研究方法,并以为地方服务作为学科建立和发展的宗旨。这些要素的整合,构成地方学的研究内容和架构体系,可供地方学建设参考。

Based on the local studies is not yet mature, there are different views. On a lot of issues and it is difficult to have a final conclusion. Taking the 15- year research achievement of Guangdong Research Association of the Pearl River Culture for example, it divides its achievement into six categories, that is, the development history of the Pearl River culture, the maritime silk road history and culture of the Pearl River, the category of the Pearl River culture, the Pearl River culture industry,？historic celebrities in the Pearl River and the natural and cultural basic research of the Pearl River culture. Accordingly, with the Pearl River studies as the starting point, it concludes that the learning object of local studies should be a geographical unit having a unique cultural connotation and its research content is its corresponding regional culture. The research object decides the research tasks. It provides history lessons and reference to regional development. Local studies belong to the scope of regional science, which is an integrated, marginal, regional, and applied science. Literature and field survey should be adopted as the research methods, with serving the local development as the establishment and purpose of the discipline. The integration of these elements constitutes the structure system and research content of local studies to provide a reference for the construction of local studies.
