从一般思想史到边疆思想史——一种人文—地理的关系学论纲

From the General Intellectual History to the Intellectual History of Borderland——A Kind of Humanity-Geography Relation Approach

自从中国思想史成为古代思维样态的近代接续与现代阐释形态以来,其本身成为我们理解中国在连续性发展中的主体框架,进而在思想与文明比较的基础上形成了民族国家时代的整体国家气质与认同。中国思想史的这种基本特质构成了我们认知层面的一般类型,并经历了一个近代转型的过程。如何在当今具有普遍性的民族国家结构中去理解"天下"的生成逻辑,如何认知整个古代中国的陆—海秩序及其内部的陆缘关系结构,进而更为全面地理解"域内"的空间及其互动关系,最终从结构动力角度真正理解中国疆域与群体的"统一环",就成为我们如今寻找关于中国的新的整体性叙述的关键所在。通过理解以边疆为对象的外围关系格局,并进而阐释其与内部核心区域的结构性链接,这种边疆思想史框架将能够超越我们既有的对于边疆的区块化认知,从而形成更具普遍性和解释力的中国内部区域互动框架与动力机制。

Since the history of Chinese thought became the modern continuation and modern interpretation of ancient thinking,it has become the main frame of our understanding of China in the continuous development,and then formed the overall national temperament and identity of the era of the nation-state on the basis of the comparison of thoughts and civilizations.This basic characteristic of the history of Chinese thought constitutes the general type of our cognitive level and has undergone a modern transformation process.How can we in contemporary universal structure of the nation-state to understand the generation of the logic of"the land under heaven"(天下),how to cognitive the whole order of ancient China’s land,sea and its internal relations of epicontinental structure,thus a more comprehensive understanding of the"domain"space and interactive relationship,finally understand the United Ring of China’s territory and ethnic groups from the angle of structural dynamics,as we are looking for the key to new holistic narration about China.By understanding the peripheral relationship pattern with the frontier as the object,and then explaining the structural link between it and the inner core region,this framework of the intellectual history of borderland will be able to beyond our existing block cognition of the borderland,thus forming a more universal and explanatory power of China’s internal regional interaction framework and dynamic mechanism.
