改革开放40年来的中国水利史研究

Study on the History of Water Conservancy since Reform and Opening-up

改革开放以来,中国水利史研究取得了巨大成绩。20世纪80年代,传统水利史研究(防洪、灌溉、航运)勃兴。20世纪90年代以来,水利史研究呈现出不同的变化,水利社会史兴起并逐渐成为水利史研究的主流,近现代水利史开始为学界重视并取得一定成绩,水利遗产研究为水利史研究开辟了新的领域,水环境研究成果丰富。但是,回顾水利史研究40年的历程,水利史学科也存在着人才培养体系不完善、学科内涵不清楚等问题。总之,水利史研究成果丰硕,在科学技术史的诸门类中成绩显著。

Since the Reform and Opening up,China has made great achievements in the study of water history. In the 1980s,traditional water history (flood control,irrigation and shipping) flourished. Since the 1990s,the study of water history has shown some different changes. The rise of water society history has gradually become the mainstream of water history research. In modern times,water history has been attached importance to and achieved certain achievements in academic circles. However,looking back on the 40 years of water history research,there are also some problems in the discipline of water history,such as imperfect personnel training system and unclear discipline connotation. In a word,the research achievements of water resources history are fruitful and remarkable in various categories of science and technology history.
