Executive summary: in the more than 5,000 years of the chinese nation's history of civilization, china's ancient history has occupied most of the time and has a special place. Since the establishment of the new china, the ancient history of china has been guided by the concept of material history, which has led to major problems in china's historyAcademic resultsI don't know. In particular, after the reforms and opening-up, china's ancient history studies ushered in a new spring, with more impressive achievements in the fields of discipline-building, talent development, external exchanges and publication of results. The 70-year research of china's ancient history in new china has made a unique contribution to revealing the unique paths and patterns of china's history, deepening society's awareness of china's ancient history and culture, serving the need for our party to govern the country, and showing the world a long and bright chinese civilization。
In its 70 years of existence, under the leadership of the party, chinese ancient history researchers, guided by marxistism and material history, have produced fruitful research results that have made a unique contribution to revealing the unique development paths and patterns of china's history, deepening society's awareness of china's ancient history and culture, serving our party's need to govern the country, and showing the world a long and luminous chinese civilization。
The establishment of a guiding position in material history has led to the creation of new articles in ancient chinese history. Chapter
The ancient history of china is that of china from its primitive society until the beginning of the opium war in 1840. The chinese nation has a vast history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, and many historians have written the historical books of sweating cattle. Since the establishment of the new china in 1949, china's ancient history studies have been rekindling new life and achievements. Before the reform was opened, the major achievements of the ancient history studies of china could be summarized in three main areas。
To establish a guiding position in the history of objects. Since the establishment of the new china, more and more marxist classics have been translated and introduced more systematically, and marxism's only physical history has become the guiding idea for historical research and has entered scientific institutions and school platforms. On the basis of the hard work of marxist historians like guo moo ro, lu zhen yu, huo bozan, pang wenzheng, and others, more historians have begun to study the subject of materialism, guided by this scientific theory and studying major issues in china's history. At the same time, a large number of research and teaching institutions, societies and publications that adhere to material history have been created and have contributed significantly to research in china's ancient history. For example, the chinese academy of sciencesHistorical researchThe first and second institutes and the chinese institute of history were founded, as were journals such as history studies, history monthly, anhui historics, man story, history series, history teaching. During this period, a cadre of researchers, guided by an objectistic outlook, was gradually established and a new academic ecology began to emerge。
To explore major issues in china's history. China's ancient history issues, china's feudal land ownership forms, china's feudal society farmers ' wars, china's capitalist budding issues, and the emergence of the han nation are the five major issues of research guided by marxist social morphology theory, class analysis methods, etc., and concerned with the political, economic, social and ideological changes that have taken place in china's history over a long period of time and during a major period of history. The main themes of the research discussions on the five major issues, mainly in china's ancient history, have greatly deepened the understanding of china's ancient history, promoted the concrete and practical integration of marxism and chinese history, and helped to shape china's history at macro and theoretical levels. The study of the five major issues and the resulting major discussions on the long-term causes of china's feudal society, its production methods, historicalism and class views, the inheritance of historical heritage, the evaluation of historical figures, and historical relations have reached unprecedented levels in china's historical data-mining, research and awareness-building on ancient chinese history issues, as well as the initial construction of a system of disciplines, academic systems and discourses in the ancient history of china, whose concerns and accumulated information have become the growth point for many of china's later disciplines。
A great deal of academic work has laid the foundation for a better discipline in china's ancient history. Following the establishment of a guiding position in the field of physical history, a large number of leading historians and new historians have written, edited and published a large number of academic works, such as the first, second and third editions of the van wenling compendium of china's general history, the chinese history outline of the liang bezan national school of higher education, published by zheng zhen, the revised chinese general history of cone by lu zhen yu, the chinese history of guo zhou's editor, the chinese history of guo zhou, the chinese history programme of zhang zheng, and the chinese general history of thought, published by zhang zheng zheng zheng. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of historical events, such as yang's old story and the history of war states, tang's south-north history series and wei's north-south historic series, wang zheng north-south history series, wang zhong zhong zhong zhong zheng's south-south history series, yang zhong zhong zheng's police system, changtao's hinda system in south korea, myung dynasty city economic test at fujiang, and the river mountain collection in the sea of history. These academic achievements have laid the foundation for a better discipline in china's ancient history, many of which are classics, and are still the subject of our study of china's ancient history today。
Reform and opening up for new springs in ancient chinese history
In 1978, after the 11th plenum of the party, following the liberation of ideas, realism and ideology, and in the wake of chaos, the great historians continued to innovate, and the ancient chinese history studies ushered in a new spring. For more than 40 years, the party has attached great importance to historical research, the country's economic strength has grown, and political and economic guarantees have been provided for the study of china's ancient history, which has achieved more impressive achievements in the fields of academic development, talent development, external exchange and publication of results。
There is a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the subjectivity. In the theory of social morphology, scholars, recognizing the complexity and diversity of the historical evolution of human society, have provided a more rational and convincing interpretation of the social morphology of many countries, including china. Underscoring that historical materialism is the theoretical guide for research in china's ancient history, chinese ancient history researchers have gone into china's historical realities, studying the path of historical development with chinese characteristics from the point of view of specific history, and building their own historical theoretical system. After the reform and opening-up process, the re-examination of the asian production methods, the long-term continuity of china’s feudal society, the assessment of historical figures, ethnic relations and so forth, both in terms of the perception of materialistics and the actual integration of materialistics with china’s history, has improved considerably。
Research theory and methodology are increasingly well developed. After the reforms and opening up, research into the ancient history of china continued to develop. Guided by marxist historical and historian theory, and based on scientific learning from ancient and historical theories and methods of excellence, political history studies, economic history studies, social history studies, ideological history studies, cultural history studies, national history studies, history theory and history studies, history studies of relationships between china and abroad, historical geography studies, frontier history studies, etc. Have begun to shape their own research theories and methods. The new literature, represented by oracle, jane, dung shun tyufan, kwokzhou, sculptor and image material, as well as numerous civil texts, greatly enriched china's ancient history. New disciplines such as environmental history, medical history, disease history, social life history, etc., and the emergence of cross-cutting subjects have led to an ever-expanding system of ancient chinese disciplines。
Academic results have been extremely fruitful. The codification of general history reflects the level of historical awareness of an era as a whole. After guo's death, the chinese history was successfully completed by fan wenbin, and the chinese general history was successfully completed by zai meixiu. The chinese general history was successfully completed by the end of the twentieth century. The five volumes of china's general history, compiled by the institute of history of the chinese academy of social sciences and aimed at the general public, were well received. These general histories have innovations in codification concepts and methods. In addition, the fields of political history, economic history, social history, ideological history, cultural history and history are also the subject of specialized general history. The severing history studies reflect the depth and thickness of historical research. Since the beginning of qin and ming dynasty, there have been books and many foundational works that have greatly enriched our understanding of the history of the qin era。
The academic mission of a new era
After the 18th anniversary of the partyChinese specialized socialismA new era. Comrade xi emphasized that “the new era, which upholds and develops chinese socialism, is all the more necessary for systematic research into china's history and culture, and for profoundly grasping the historical patterns of human development, drawing wisdom and moving towards the future in an in-depth reflection on history”. The new mission of the new age is that of the chinese ancient history researchers to undertake their academic mission and to contribute to the realization of the “two hundred years” and the chinese dream of the great revival of the chinese nation。
In the past, china's history has been a long time ago, and it has been a long time since china's history was studied. Comrade xi stated: “assisting on marxism is a fundamental indicator of the difference between contemporary chinese philosophy and other philosophical social sciences”. In time, china's ancient history has dominated the history of china's more than 5,000 years of civilization, and its ancient history studies have a special place in china's history. Research into the ancient history of china in the new era must be guided by an object-oriented view of the history of china and provide a profound insight into the richness of its ancient history and its development patterns. This is necessary not only for the development of the party and the state, but also for upgrading the overall level of development of our philosophical social sciences. To that end, chinese historical researchers should continue to invest in the study of objects-based history, mastering the core thrusts of material-based history-based thinking, and truly linking it closely to chinese history。
China’s ancient history studies were consciously combined with the needs of the new age party and the state and the people. According to comrade xi, "history is a mirror, and it's wise to learn from time to time. It is a good tradition for the chinese nation to value history, study history and learn from history over 5,000 years of civilization.” the important role of researchers of the ancient history of china in the new era is to explain the historical inevitability of taking china’s special socialism path, to draw wisdom and discipline from history, and to play their own disciplinary role in maintaining and developing china’s special socialism. It is to maintain the orientation of historical research in the service of the people, and to closely align china’s ancient historical studies with the spiritual and cultural needs of the masses。
To contribute to the construction of the chinese philosophial socio-scientific system, academic system and speech system. The construction of a system of socio-scientific disciplines, an academic system and a linguistic system of chinese philosophies is dependent on the construction of the “three systems” of historical science. China's ancient history researchers, in keeping with the requirements of comrade xi, who is based in china, learns from abroad, discovers history, grasps contemporary times, cares for human beings, and looks for the future, insist on using marxism as a guide, drawing on the traditional resources of chinese culture, drawing on the resources of philosophy and social sciences from abroad, and trying to build an ancient chinese history system that reflects inheritance, nationality, originality, epochism and systematic, professionalism。
