改革开放30年的先秦史研究

自1978年十一届三中全会确立解放思想、实事求是的思想路线以来,中国的先秦史研究取得了丰硕的成果。其表现首先是围绕着一系列考古发现的新材料,得出了对于先秦历史文化的新认识;其次是靠了思想观念的转变及理论的更新,在走出古史分期讨论的窄胡同以后,学者们的视野更开阔了,研究领域也更广泛了。新时期先秦史研究所取得的成就是巨大的,然而无论在专题研究还是在断代史研究方面,都还存在很多不足,还有一系列的课题需要继续开拓。为此,今后一是要继续坚持解放思想、实事求是的思想路线,坚持反对教条主义和公式主义。二是增进开放意识,加强对西方史学、考古学、文化人类学有关理论的学习和引进。三是加强历史学与考古学的联系,实现二者的整合。四是增进学风建设,提倡扎实稳重的治学方法和治学精神。

The Research of History Prior to the Qin Dynasty in 30 Years of Reform and Opening Up

The research on History prior to the Qin Dynasty has been prosperous since the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC) when China had set up the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from the facts.The results are firstly the newly acknowledgements to the history and culture prior to the Qin Dynasty,based on the serial of new materials found in archaeology;secondly because of the change of the ideology and the renewal of theory,the scholars get rid of the discussion about the narrow division of the ancient history,widen their horizon,and research field.Although there are extraordinary achievements in the research of History prior to the Qin Dynasty,it is still inadequate in the research on history of a specific subject and on dynastic history,a serial of topics need to be further studied.One principle is that we need to stick to the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from the facts,fighting against dogmatism and formalism;the second is to strengthen the introduction of and study on theories of the western history,archaeology and culture;the third is to strengthen the connection between history and archaeology and to realize the union of the two;the fourth is to improve the construction of academic discipline,to promote the steady research method and spirit of doing scholarly research.
