名称、内容与意义:民国时期的历史地理学课程

Name,Content and Significance:The Course of Historical Geography in the Republic of China

1903年以来的大学学制中已有历史地理学课程的专门设定,民国时期的大学史学系广泛开设了历史地理学课程。这些课程大体可分为"沿革地理"与"历史地理"两类,主要为中国历史地理课程,也有少量世界历史地理课程。这一时期历史地理学的课程名称众多,课程内容多数以沿革地理学为主,但也有一些课程采纳了现代历史地理学的内容。中西文化交融中"沿革地理"与"历史地理"的名称混用,以及课程内容中传统观念与现代意识的混杂,体现出民国时期中国历史地理学学科处于转型时期的诸多特征。

The curriculum of "historical geography" has been set in the academic system since the late Qing Dynasty. In the history department of universities during the Republic of China,historical geography courses were widely opened. These courses can be roughly divided into two categories:"Evolutionary Geography" and "Historical Geography",including a large number of Chinese historical geography courses and a small number of World historical geography courses. During this period,Historical geography courses have various names. Most of the course content belong to Evolutionary geography,but a few courses content belongs to modern Historical geography. The mixed use of "Evolutionary geography" and "Historical geography",and the difference of these curriculum contents,reflect the many characteristics of the transition from traditional to modern Chinese geography in the Republic of China.
