陈垣“提倡有意义之史学”新证

New Historical Material for Chen Yuan’s “Promoting Meaningful Historiography”

'提倡有意义之史学'标志着陈垣先生学术思想的升华,是他在抗战时期所形成的爱国主义民族历史观的具体体现,同时也是中国史学长久形成的经世致用史学传统在新的历史条件下的一个继承和发展。1943年的《现在中国史之作法》这则史料字数总计不过百,却立意高远,清晰而准确地记录了陈垣先生'提倡有意义之史学'的思想,体现了他时刻关心国家民族的命运,把学术与民族精神和国家现代化紧密结合在一起的更高学术追求,具有超前性。

As concrete embodiment of Chen Yuan’s patriotic historical thought,'Promoting meaningful historiography'formed during the Anti-Japanese War marks the sublimation of his academic thought,and it also is the new inheritance and development of the long-stending historical tradition of Chinese historiography which concerned practical problems.XIANDAI ZHONGGUOSHI ZHIZUOFA(The Practice of Chinese History Studies under New Historical Condition)made in 1943 is no more than 100 characters but with great foresight,and it clearly and accurately recorded the thought of Chen Yuan’s'Promoting Meaningful Historiography',which embodies his concern about the fate of China and a higher academic pursuit to combine academic research and national modernization.
