历史解释为什么有力量?——一种食品、一场战争、一部文献和一幅地图

Why Is Historical Interpretation Powerful?-A Study Involving a Food,a War,a Book and a Map

通过一种食品(蔗糖)、一场战争(白村江之战)、一部文献(《入唐求法巡礼行记》)和一幅地图(塞尔登地图),可以探讨好的历史解释如何阐发并且提升历史研究的意义。其中,把中国史放入世界史大背景中重新观看,则是一种有力量的历史解释,通过这种历史解释,还可以沟通中国史与世界史两大研究领域。

With a food(cane sugar),a war(the Battle of Baekgang),a book(Ennin s The Record of a Pilgrimage to China in Search of the Law)and a map(The Selden Map of China),we can explore how an effective historical interpretation helps illustrate and elevate the meaning of historical research.Re-examining Chinese history in the greater world history context not only promises a powerful historical interpretation,but also bridges the two areas of historical study.
