当代中国法律史学研究方法的分析

Analysis of Research Methods of Chinese Legal History in Contemporary

当代中国法律史研究经过"前十七年"(1949-1966)"文革十年"(1966-1977)与"改革开放"(1978-至今)三个阶段。由于研究方法的不同,每个时期的研究成果都呈现出不同的特点。"前十七前"主要采用的"阶级分析"的方法曾对推动中国法律史的研究起到过重要作用,但"文革十年"中这一方法的绝对化却成为学术发展的桎梏。1978年"改革开放"以来,思想解放使学术研究方法多元化,中国法律史的研究也随着方法的多元而繁荣兴盛,与以往相比,研究成果剧增,多角度地探讨中国历史上的法律拓展了中国法律史的研究领域,但对研究方法的过度重视也带来研究中的其他问题。

The study of Chinese legal historyincontemporaryhas gone through three stages: the"First Seventeen Years"( 1949-1966) "the Decade of the Cultural Revolution"( 1966-1977) and the "Reform and Opening up"( 1978-present). Due to the different research methods,the research works of each period have different characteristics. Marx’s method of "Class Analysis"has played an important role in promoting the study of Chinese legal history,but the absolutization of this method in the "Decade of the Cultural Revolution "has become the paradox of academic development. Since the "Reform and Opening up " in 1978,ideological emancipation has diversified academic research methods. The study of Chinese legal history has prospered with the diversity of research methods. Compared with the past,the research works have increased dramatically,and the Chinese Legal History has been explored from different perspectives. But the excessive attention to research methods also brings other problems in the research of Chinese Legal History.
