70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China，Especially for more than 40 years of reform and opening up，The African History Division in my country has from scratch，Get a long -term development。But，Compared with other fields，The research on African history in my country is still weak，Urgently needs to be strengthened。In the early 1960s，I started to enter the field of this subject，Entering African History Teaching Work。As an old scholar in the African academic community in my country，I would like to talk about this experience。

Today's world is in a period of great development and great adjustment，This is a big change in a century。Under this situation，The people of our country urgently need to understand Africa，You must understand its status quo，Also understand its history。So，Strengthen this research，It is necessary。

One，The common historical origin of China and Africa，We can't forget。Since ancient times，China's Yellow River Basin and the Nile River Basin in Africa are all the birthplaces of human civilization。Enter the 20th century，The world has formed the two categories of oppression and oppression nations，The latter of the Chinese people and the African people，The Community of Destiny of History。With the victory of the national liberation movement，China has become the largest developing country，Africa has become the most concentrated mainland in developing countries。To build a community of human destiny，Create a beautiful world，This common experience of China and Africa needs to be studied。

Its two，The historic common revival dream must explore。With Namibia announced independence in 1990，Africa finally completed the great cause of national independence，The new mission is to realize the dream of rejuvenation; China is also achieving a great rejuvenation dream today。The reality of economic globalization makes you among you in the world，I have you in me。Africa is known as the "Treasure Treasure of World Resources"，Economic development potential is great。How to benefit and win -win cooperation between China bet365 best casino games and Africa，Research from history to reality。

Its three，For the common international security，Need historic research。Suez Canal and the routes that bypass the Hope Kok are an important international channel，History explains that Africa's military status is important。Now，my country has sent multiple peacekeeping troops to Africa，my country's warships also escort the East Coast of Africa。54 countries in Africa，About one -third of the seats in the United Nations。In many international organizations，Its seat is also quite considerable。Africa is an international force that cannot be ignored，my country wants to get its support，Must conduct relevant historical investigations and research。

Its four，The need for ecological environment governance。Africa is the second continent in the world，across the north -south hemisphere。It has the world's largest desert (Sahara Desert) and the second largest tropical rain forest area。Human to deal with climate change、Marine Pollution、Biological protection and other environmental problems，Can't stay without Africa，These needs to examine the history。

Its five，The need for new development in China and Africa relations。1956，China and Egypt's establishment diplomatic relations，unveiled the new chapter of China -Africa relations。Enter a new stage today，China -Africa Development Strategic Partnership，"Belt and Road" is one of the important new measures。It is worth noting that，This is the inheritance and development of the history of the ancient Silk Road。Africa is a transit station on the land on the ancient Silk Road and the end point of the Maritime Silk Road。So，In order to do a good job of "Belt and Road" today，Study of the history of China -Africa relations must be strengthened。

Reality is the development of history，I only know the history of the past，can better understand the current event。This is the way of thinking of Marxism，Marx and Engels in the Declaration of the Communist Party describing the mission of the Communist Party，It starts from history。Revolutionary mentors of the past generations attach great importance to the research and learning of history，I agree that if you want to solve the problem of reality，The historical process of the problem must be examined，Constantly summarize historical Bet365 app download experience and lessons。So，We want to strengthen research on African history today，To understand Africa and know Africa more deeply，This is the position of adhering to historical materialism、perspective and method。The tide head of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China，The first voice of the thought，issued "Do not forget the original heart、Keep the mission in mind。We strengthen the research and popularization of African history，It is the response to this call。

　Special needs of young disciplines

In historical disciplines，African history is the youngest、One of the weakest emerging disciplines，It needs special care、Support and treatment。The weak condition of this discipline is caused by colonial aggression。From the 15th century，Western colonialists began to plunder "yellow in Africa、Black、White "，That is gold、Black slave and ivory。400 years of black slave trade，Not only does Africa be greatly destroyed by socio -economic，And the spiritual slavery。The racist fallacy that discriminates against Africans is very arrogant，Africa history was wiped out，Ancient Egyptian civilization was said to be from Greece、Inheritance of Rome，Calculated on the account of Western civilization。until the middle of the 19th century，Even scholars who are rigorous like Hegel like Hegel，I think that Africa has no history to speak。Just due to the rise of the industrial revolution，Materials in the West、Market，It is necessary to stop slave trade，Start to divide Africa，Implement "effective occupation"。For this，Western countries examine Africa，African geography，But African history is still not valued，So the situation that British scholar J. D. Ficci saw at Ghana at the University of Ghana in 1948 was，European history knowledge of African students is far more than African history。This shows how lacking the research of African history。

This changes in this situation were in the 1950s and 1960s。"July Revolution" in Egypt in 1952，Receiving Suez Canal sovereignty in 1956。Under the influence of Egypt，Northern Africa countries have caused armed struggle，One after another。1957，Ghana Independence，African fire of national independent movement in Africa south of Sahara。1960，More than 10 African countries announced bet365 best casino games independence，This year is called "African Year"，Duster Africa suddenly roared。Why is this? Scholars began to find the cause from history。English、method、Soviet and other countries have various African historical books and magazines.，The United States has established thousands of people participating in the African Research Association。The most influential and representative event，It is the UNESCO since 1965 to organize the writing 8 volumes of "History of Africa"，and point out: "Long -term，Various absurd statements and prejudices make the whole world unable to understand the true history of Africa "，This situation will change。This is a new starting point for the research of African history，Since then, the research boom。

April 27, 1961，Chairman Mao Zedong pointed out when he met with African guests，China wants to strengthen the history of Africa、Geography、Studies in socio -economic situation。July 4 of the same year，The Ministry of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences established the Institute of Asia and Africa (1964 divided into the West Asian Africa Institute and the Southeast Asian Institute)。Peking University and other universities formed African research institutions，All colleges and universities have worked hard to offer African history courses。70s，19 publishing houses in the country and published dozens of African historical works。Since the reform and opening up，Chinese African History Research Association、African Issue Research Association was born，They strive to push African research and teaching work to a climax。Just as the history of Africa，Except for a large number of papers，There are also several textbooks and multiple rolls of African history.。Some researchers began to enter Africa for inspection，Change the situation where African researchers have not been to Africa in the past。

but，After entering the 21st century，The situation has changed，A African history studies have signs of low tide。Since the discipline is young，The team is smaller，Limited level，Its research is difficult to deal with changes in the new situation at home and abroad。For example，Professor African History in the United States face the new century Bet365 app download and the new situation，One after another changed the "African History" course to "Africa and the World"。This situation rarely occurs in my country。At the same time，In terms of planning and reform in the field of social sciences，Young African History Division Settings、Fund allocation、Personalized and other aspects are at a disadvantage，Failure to get a special care。So，For a long period，Doctoral point of doctoral degree in African history without recruiting African history，There are very few units recruited for graduate students，As a result，The phenomenon of unattended successors appears。According to statistics，Since the 21st century，Published thousands of historical papers every year in my country，The papers in African history are only a few articles every year。At each academic seminar at the African History Research Association，More attention to the status quo of Africa，Few discussion of African history issues。The above categories，Urgently needs to be changed。In addition to the reform of the system，The important thing is the improvement of the research work itself。

　To innovate from actual

History itself cannot be changed，But history develops forward with the changes of the times。Development of African History in my country，You must face the actual innovation。

One，Facing Africa's actual。Africa has completed the great cause of national independence，Entering the period of social and economic development，"African Union" has replaced the "African Unified Organization"。Past，The focus of our study of African history is the history of anti -colonial struggle、History of Independence Movement，The research on social and economic history is also related to political issues，For example, a single economic problem in Africa、slavery education issues, etc.，and most of the "Africa" ​​tells。Today，Research focus is on development issues，Can't just pay attention to political issues，It is also necessary to focus on economic and social and cultural issues。Marx has pointed out that the colonial economy has duality，They need to exploit the need，Also engaged in modern industries in the colony，Now when these industries serve independent countries，You need to conduct a comprehensive examination bet365 Play online games and study of it，Specific analysis and utilization。In terms of culture，Exchange and mutual learning of multiple civilizations in the world today，What are the basic characteristics of African civilization? How to communicate?。The situation in all parts of Africa is very different，To strengthen detailed research on countries and regions，Change the "Da Africa" ​​exposition method that was generally concerned about Africa in the past。

Its two，To face the reality of China。In 1961, Chairman Mao proposed to strengthen Africa research: "Our situation for Africa，For me，Not clear。""，Chinese people and the majority of cadres at all levels are not clear about Africa，This is a common phenomenon caused by history。So，When Chinese scholars study and write African historical readings，Must start from this actual。Pay special attention to the popularity，It is necessary to use a variety of forms to popularize publicity and education，Research and teaching work must be with the news、Consumption of media work，Strive to help each other。Weakness of the foundation of the subject，It also affects the shortage of discipline talents。Because it is difficult to attract more young people to engage in this industry，So，Although the rise of African history in my country is not later than Western history，But the number of talents、There is a great gap in the foundation and research results。The training of talents is a big problem，Mainly relied on school。Teaching in primary and secondary schools should have the content of Africa，University liberal arts must have the "African History" course，Engineering colleges and vocational colleges should also offer elective courses in Africa。This，You can cultivate all kinds of talents，It can also lay a solid foundation for the training of postgraduates and senior talents in Africa in the future。

Its three，To face international reality。Economic Globalization、Politics multi -polarization、Diversity of culture，It is the characteristic of the world today。Facing this international environment，What is the status of Africa，How to deal with Africa，How to determine your development path and diplomatic policy，is an important research topic。For this，Need to know the changes in non bet365 best casino games -policy around the world，Especially Ying、Fa and other former master nations and Africa's historical relations are closely，What are the new changes now? Meso once fiercely competing in Africa，What is the policy of the United States for Africa now? After the disintegration of the Soviet Union，How does Russia face Africa? These need to be linked to history for research。Current，When formulating China's diplomatic policy against Africa，You must also pay attention to the above historical issues。

In short，We are studying African history and reality today，Need micro research，Macro research also requires，A missing one is indispensable。We must comply with the needs of the new era，Masterpiece to make the study of African history in my country a higher level。
