  Questions about whether historical needs need to be imagined,There are many controversy in the academic community。Negatators believe that history is an empirical learning,and imagine that there is a fiction,Leaving History's True,You must adhere to "There is a point of historical materials and say a point",What's more thinks that "history is historical science"。Agreeers believe that history is not only about restoring historical truth,Explore the truth of details,It also requires researchers to have extraordinary imagination,Pursuing its structure and meaning in the big historical perspective,Just as Li Jianming's "Cultivation and Techniques of Historian" pointed out "under the premise of mastering and reliable historical materials,Refer to a certain theory and concept to explain the meaning of historical facts,To gain historical knowledge "; Wang Ermin said in" History Methods "," There is no so -called natural existence in the world,All information must be through the historical consciousness and fate of the historical material "。
  
 
  Find the combination of historical theory of historical theory
  
  I understand,The above two perspectives illustrate the discipline characteristics of history from different aspects: historical materials are the foundation,History theory is value; seeking truth is the essential requirements of history,Lesson is the connotation and meaning of history。Both of them,Not absolutely。Too much emphasis on historical materials,Pursue the so -called empirical nature、Scientific,As a result, bet365 live casino games the history of the historical facts is increasingly fragmented in the literature,Lack of overall historical perspective and deep meaning interpretation。Too much pursuit of righteousness,It is easy to appear "abstract empiricalism" in "The Imagination of Sociology",Theory and methods are higher than facts and experience,Can't get objective history theory,Falling in a relativelyist mud。Only organically integrate the two,is the ideal research path,This is also recognized and practiced by many researchers。If Hu Shi believes: "The historian needs two essential abilities: First, the precise skill,One is Gao Yuan's imagination。"American sinologist Wei Feide said:" A perfect historian must definitely have enough imagination,can his narrative be vivid and touching,But he must absolutely master his imagination,limit it to the materials he found,Avoid adding branches and leaves,Damage its authenticity。He must enter the in -depth and clever inference,also has sufficient self -control,so as not to incorporate the facts into a false framework。”

  Contemporary historical research is not only equal to historical materials and historical ideas,And absorb the theory and method of modern social sciences,Show macro and micro、Academic and Times、The research features of theoretical and materials and other commonly -through,Research field of view greatly pioneering,A batch of outstanding academic achievements with equal emphasis on research and justice。"Research on Culture Consumption in the Song Dynasty" (Qin Kaifeng,Business Press October 2019 Edition) Is a historical fact、A good work with a good combination of historical theory and historical knowledge。
  
  Pay attention to studying the specific consumption process
  
  Song Dynasty made extraordinary achievements in the cultural field,reach the peak of ancient Chinese society,Correspondingly,Cultural consumption activities are also extremely active。This book takes cultural consumption content as a clue,The main body bet365 live casino games of cultural consumption (specific consumer) is the entry point,From the economy、History of Social and Cultural History focuses on the consumption process,Explore the Cultural Consumption Status of Song Dynasty、Features、Impact and meaning and other problems,Rich and expand the research of Song History。

  The content bet365 live casino games of cultural consumption in the Song Dynasty is wide and complex,The first problem is to clarify the cultural consumption category and clarify item by item.,This will undoubtedly have certain difficulties,You need to have a comprehensive understanding and grasp of the economic and cultural life of the Song Dynasty。This book first defines and divide the research object,and select leisure and entertainment consumption from complicated research content、Religious belief consumption、Cultural education consumption and art consumption 4 categories (including 13 small items),Study on a special nature of one by one。This architecture makes the group contain individuals,Special research and comprehensive research is better combined,Avoid the lack of "I saw the trees without seeing the forest"。

  Books Chinese Document Information is rich and accurate、Use skillful,Researched the researcher's solid historical material research skills。The author focuses on the specific consumption process,How to buy each cultural object or cultural text、Consumption,bet365 live casino games How about the price、What factors are restricted to the questions and other questions to take a one -one -one verification。If the main content and specific price list bet365 live casino games of cultural consumption will reach more than ten,The price table lists transaction time、Item name、Item name、Quantity unit、Price、Data source, etc.。Almost all of the relevant materials are collected and sorted out in a table from the historical materials of Sanjian,It seems simple and clear,In fact, the author requires the author to have a considerable grasp and familiarity with related historical materials,Taking the "Price of the Song Dynasty Pen Ink Paper" table as an example,The source of the information listed in more than 30 species。It is under the support of these rich literature,This book shows that there are things、Perseverance is based、Thick and solid research characteristics。
  
  Elegant Cultural Exchange Exchange Exchange
  
  A study,If you only stay in the paving and Lie Lie of historical materials、What are there,It is just a relatively simple and basic study,Not enough to show its meaning and value。On this basis, the reason is analyzed、role and influence, etc.,It is necessary to have rich historical imagination、Clear logical thinking ability and certain theoretical speculation。The valuable thing about the book is on the basis of clearing the basic appearance bet365 live casino games of cultural consumption in the Song Dynasty,Place culture consumption in the overall economic and social structure of the Song Dynasty,Analyze its characteristics、status、Impact and Revelation on Contemporary,Make research showing a broad theoretical vision。For example, in the book, the cultural and social significance of cultural consumption in the Song Dynasty from the perspective of culture and social history,The change of the concept of consumer consumption on the social flow and then the impact on social structure,Especially excavating the social layering of cultural consumption,Point out that there is a healthy interaction between the cultural consumption and economic and social development of the Song Dynasty。Politics in the Song Dynasty、Economy、Society、Cultural and other factors and other factors have laid the foundation for cultural consumption,Promoting the prosperity of cultural consumption。Culture consumption has promoted the accelerated development of economic and social: promoting production development、Assist the industry division of labor、Optimized consumption structure、Promoting social flow。Take the impact on social flow as an example,This study believes that the social liquidity of the Song Dynasty is significantly intensified。On the one hand,Do not talk about the door、Regardless of the rich and the poor、The imperial examination system that only asks the results provides a ladder flowing upward; on the other hand,,Cultural consumption prompts the horizontal flow acceleration in the geographical space of the population,Rulai studying around、Students enter Beijing to rush to exam、Kabuki Performance、Tourists play around, etc.,Space displacement brings population gathering and economic activity; at the same time,Horizontal flow acceleration in professional rooms、Refined division of labor,Optimized the economic structure。The identity of cultural consumption has、The role of raising social status,subtly to inspire people to pursue bet365 live casino games higher -level cultural consumption,Then form a strong motivation that is vertically flowing upward。Another,There is no shortage of flow from top to bottom,If an elegant and vulgar culture is blended and exemplary in the field of literature and art,Volkswagen participates in the production and consumption of literature and art,Breaking the situation where culture and art have been exclusive for a long time。Its downward,Make literary consumption gradually become the lower level、The daily lifestyle of the people of the city。

  This book takes cultural consumption as the main line,Not only clarify the status and influence bet365 live casino games of cultural consumption in the commodity economy of the Song Dynasty,Also seeing various changes and development trends in the economic and social life of the Song Dynasty。This requires researchers to have a big historical view,Breakthrough static object research,It is not "consumption in terms of consumption",Instead, analyze the overall development of the Song Dynasty society through the perspective of cultural consumption,Changes in social structure、The rise of emerging social forces and the differentiation of the original social class、Deception of elegant culture、Inter -layer interaction、Change of consumer concepts, etc.,At the same time, there is an alternative interpretation of the formation and changes of the Song -type culture and the Song -type society。There are still some space that can continue to explore and research,Miscellaneous content of cultural consumption,In addition to the 13 items of centralized research,There are many contents that are not included,It is worth further excavation; there is no status and role of cultural consumption in the consumer culture bet365 best casino games of the Song Dynasty; the cultural consumption of the Song Dynasty is not placed in the process of analyzing its status and influence in the development of the ancient Chinese society,Looking forward to the author's deep extension of these issues in future research。
