《中国农村》研究多维透视

On Rural China from Multidimensional Perspectives

《中国农村》是20世纪三四十年代由受中国共产党秘密领导的中国农村经济研究会编辑出版的进步刊物。《中国农村》是20世纪三四十年代由受中国共产党秘密领导的中国农村经济研究会编辑出版的进步刊物。20世纪80年代以来,学界对《中国农村》本身与该刊涉及的主办机构、人物、论战等进行了诸多研究。从刊物本身看,相关研究主要集中在“对《中国农村》的历史地位和价值的评价”“对抗日战争时期《中国农村》的研究”“对《中国农村》作者群、编辑理念、封面设计等的探讨”三个方面。从主编《中国农村》的机构——中国农村经济研究会看,相关研究主要集中在对农研会“成立的原因”“主要成员”“会务问题”“主要活动和贡献”等四个方面。对“中国农村派”的研究,从群像看,研究的内容主要有中国农村派对近代中国农村“经济性质”“贫困原因”的认知,以及“解决中国农村问题的关键是什么”等;从具体成员看,对陈翰笙、薛暮桥、钱俊瑞、孙冶方、千家驹等与《中国农村》的关系及其在农研会的活动有较多的研究。学界对《中国农村》所积极参与的中国农村社会改造问题论战研究最早、成果最多。相关研究的主题有“关于农村经济研究方法的争论”“中国农村社会性质论战”“对梁漱溟乡村改良主义的批判”等。近年来,学者们在充分肯定《中国农村》和“中国农村派”理论贡献的同时,也指出了其不足的一面,如“对生产力的技术因素重视不够”“无条件地反对改良主义”等。《中国农村》杂志及其背后的机构、群体、思想活动是一个有机整体,但目前学界对《中国农村》及其相关主题的研究大多从单一维度展开,因此,在未来的研究中,应在继续聚焦单个主题基础上,高度重视对该刊的整体性研究。

Rural China was a progressive journal edited and published in the 1930s and 1940s by the China Rural Economic Research Society,which was secretly led by the Communist Party of China.Since the 1980s,many studies have been carried out on the journal and its organizer,staff and debates.The relevant researches on the journal itself mainly focus on three aspects:the evaluation of the historical status and value of Rural China,researches on Rural China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and discussions on the writer group,editorial ideas and cover design of Rural China.In regard to the journal institutions,researches were mainly divided into four aspects:reason for the establishment,key members,administrative problem and main activities and contributions of the society.Researches concerning the School of Rural China are mainly about two aspects.First,researches focus on the school’s cognition of“economic nature”and“poverty causes”of rural China in modern times,as well as“what is the key to solve rural problems in China”.Second,key figures such as Chen Hansheng,Xue Muqiao,Qian Junrui,Sun Yefang,Qian Jiaju in the school and their relations with Rural China,as well as their activities involved are frequently discussed.The academic circles have the earliest and most fruitful researches on problems of rural social reform in China,which are actively participated in by Rural China.Related topics include“the debate on the research methods of rural economy”,“the debate on the nature of Chinese rural society”,“the criticism of Liang Shuming’s rural reformism”and so on.In recent years,while fully affirming the theoretical contributions of Rural China and its school in the academic debate,scholars have also pointed out their shortcomings,including“insufficient attention to the technical factors of productivity”and“unconditional opposition to reformism”.Rural China magazine and relevant institutions,groups and ideas behind it are an integral whole.However,current academic researches on Rural China and its related topics are mostly carried out from a relatively limited perspective.Therefore,an overall academic dimension should be expected in future research.
