以“他者”见“我者”——浅谈小越平隆《满洲旅行记》史料价值

Discovering “Self” From “Other”——Historical Value of Kogoshi Hira Takashi’s “Journey to Manchuria”

史料对于历史研究来说扮演着非常重要的角色。近代以来,出于种种原因,外国人大量来华,留下了大量关于中国的记载。日本人小越平隆的《满洲旅行记》就是这一类的史料。该书以“他者”视角,记述了“我者”之状况,对于研究近代我国东北地区的政治、经济、社会、文化、军事、自然状况等有着重要的价值。同时,对于这类史料的利用,也应该仔细鉴别,客观评价,审慎利用,只有这样,我们才能以“他者”史料把握“我者”之历史。

Historical materials play a very important role in the study of history. ln recent years,for various reasons,foreigners have come to China in large numbers,leaving behind a lot of things about China Records. Japanese Kogoshi Hira Takashi’s “Journey to Manchuria” is this kind of historical material. From the perspective of “other”,this paper describes the political,economic,social,cultural,historical and natural conditions of northeast China in modern times. At the same time,the use of this kind of historical materials should also be carefully identified,with objective comments,review,and use. Only in this way,we can use the “other” historical materials to hold the history of ours.
