再论初创时期的中国史学史学科

A Review of the Development of Chinese Historiography(topic for a special discussion)

历史学科及其各分支学科的发展,离不开对本学科的学科理论、研究方法和研究史的回顾与反思。中国史学史学科是在近代中国史学学科化进程中形成的,史学史学科的特点具有在历史研究各个领域的研究状况与具体成果基础上进行总结、批评、评估、展望的基本特征,那么对史学史学科自身的回顾与反思便显得尤为重要,这是因为,整个历史学科的研究状况处于不断发展变化的动态中,因历史研究的变化发展而随时生成史学史研究的问题意识、不断调整史学史研究的学科结构、及时更新史学史的研究目标与研究方法,是史学史研究增续其学科能量、维持其学术峰值的基本保证。同样,回顾与研究中国史学史学科从其产生建立之时至今是怎样追踪古今史学研究趋势与特点、如何不断完善史学史学科自身的过程,也有着不容忽视的学术意义。应《河北学刊》之邀,我主持了这组中国史学史研究专题,参与讨论的各篇论文都是在深入发掘材料的基础上对民国时期中国史学史学科发展的再审视,各位作者从不同角度对中国史学史学科形成与建立阶段的发展特点作了深入讨论,不仅进一步充实了相关研究,而且也提出了一些与以往看法不尽相同的新见。真诚希望本组专题论文能够对中国史学史研究有所裨益。

The development of history discipline and its branches is inseparable from the review and reflection on the discipline theory,research methods and research history of this discipline.In the same way,it is of great academic significance to review and study how the discipline of Chinese historiography has been tracking the trend and characteristics of the research of ancient and modem historiography since its establishment and how to continuously improve its own process.At the invitation of Hebei Academic Journal,I preside over this group of papers on the study of Chinese history.And the papers review the development of Chinese history in the period of the Republic of China on the basis of in-depth exploration of materials.The authors make in-depth discussions on the development characteristics of the formation and establishment stages of Chinese history from different perspectives that further enrich the relevant research.In addition,some new ideas are put forward which are different from the previous views.I sincerely hope that this group of papers will be helpful to the study of Chinese history.
