史料:新时期中国妇女史研究的起步基石——读高世瑜《唐代妇女》(三个版本)

The Cornerstone of Research on Chinese Women’s History in the New Era:Reading Gao Shiyu’s Women in the Tang Dynasty(Three Versions)

当代中国妇女史研究缘起于20世纪80年代,是新时期启蒙思潮与中国古史革新结盟而生的产物,具有鲜明的本土特征:秉承史家据史料而作为的传统规范,将父权制看作文明史中妇女之在的历史背景,避免理论和概念先行僭越,让性别制度的基本品质和真实面貌在历史版图上从容自在地呈现出来——于此,高世瑜的《唐代妇女》(1988年)不仅是新时期中国妇女史研究的代表作,也是当代中国史学革新一个有说服力的证明。

Research of contemporary Chinese women’s history originated in the 1980s.It is a co-product of the alliance between the enlightenment trend of thought and the innovation of Chinese historiography in the New Period.It has distinct local characteristics:adhering to the traditional norms of historians based on historical materials,the patriarchy is regarded as the historical background of women’s presence in the history,avoiding the usurpation of theories and concepts,and making the basic quality and real features of the gender system appear on the historical map.Gao Shiyu’s Women in the Tang Dynasty(1988)is not only a representative work on the history of Chinese women in the New Period,but also a persuasive proof of the innovation of contemporary Chinese historiography.
