This year is the 70th anniversary nj bet365 founding of New China。70 years,my country’s historical research is bounded by the reform and opening up in 1978,Can be roughly divided into two stages,The latter stage shows more diverse colors than the previous stage。Since the reform and opening up,The reason why my country’s historical research can make breakthroughs,Also related to the diversification of historical research。Today,Although there is still room for expansion in pluralistic historiography,But it is difficult to achieve anything big。Then,Where does the deepening of historical research today lead??Why can we reach a new development period?The author thinks,Only by removing constraints such as "Western centralism",Historical research can enter a broader space。

The bumpy journey of nj bet365 historical research

The West’s suppression of my country’s historical research,The most important thing is content selection。China’s nj bet365,Especially the nj bet365 since modern times,To a large extent, the West has influenced China’s nj bet365。People are trying to explain modernization or modernization,Strive to find the existence of modernity;As for China’s inheritance,has become a non-mainstream alternative。Historical research influenced by this paradigm,Looks like a cluster of flowers,In fact, I forgot myself;No matter how prosperous,Cannot cover up or whitewash the signs of "Westernization"。Because in the eyes of Western scholars,Eastern equals tradition,Western equals modernity,This "dual opposition" model directly leads to modernization, which is "Westernization",And as the United States dominates the world,“Westernization” has gradually evolved into Americanization。

nj bet365 history has become the history of Western influence on China,This statement is just like what Deng Roster said during the Republic of China: "I hope readers can also nod and understand it"!Scholar Wang Xuedian once questioned: In the context of globalization,Can we write localized nj bet365 history?In an era when Western discourse has become the mainstream discourse,Can we still read the original nj bet365 history?Can we still enter nj bet365 history,Really feel the reality of history?The sonorous questions of rational scholars,Thought-provoking。Under the influence of the trend of "Westernization",China’s historical subjects are not only selectively forgotten,And was reviled、Split、Distortion。Visible,“Western-centrism” has made China’s historical research falter。

Since the introduction of Western learning in modern times,Under the "Westernization" evaluation system,my country’s traditional culture has gradually been dwarfed and even vilified to a certain extent。On the one hand,We have seriously underestimated the significance and value of the only uninterrupted nj bet365 civilization for thousands of years。nj bet365 civilization is an uninterrupted one among the world’s ancient civilizations、A civilization that has developed continuously for more than five thousand years。As Mr. Feng Youlan said in the "Inscription on the Monument of the Southwest Associated University": "The great powers of the world,Although new but not ancient;Greek and Roman,There is history but no present。Only my country,Eternal and present,New and old,The so-called "Zhou is an old state",He is also the one whose destiny is restored。”Such a great and glorious nj bet365 civilization,Not only was it not written down in a big book,No interpretation and promotion of cultural genes and mysteries,Being attacked instead、Derogatory、Separation or even denial。

On the other hand,It is our country’s traditional nj bet365 that has been distorted。In recent years,Literary theory often subverts orthodoxy in the name of academic innovation or academic freedom。Confusion of right and wrong,Confusing right and wrong。For example,Some heroes have been “smeared”,The villain is "whitewashed" a little bit。Insulting ancestors,And it’s high-sounding,Arrogant;Praising traitors,And blatantly,Unscrupulous。These actions infinitely amplify the inappropriate content in traditional nj bet365,To achieve the purpose of negating traditional nj bet365,As a result, positive energy has become a marginalized "tail-pinner",Shocking。Also,There are also people who claim that “academic discussions are not restricted areas”,The first half of the sentence "there are disciplines in classroom teaching" is an excuse to act recklessly。Of course,There is indeed no forbidden area for academic discussion。But,The absence of restricted areas does not equate to the absence of principles。There is no place in the world without principles,Academic discussions are no exception。

It should be pointed out that,Comprehensive slander of nj bet365 history,Excessive beautification of Western history,Is an important part of the Western forces’ cultural cold war against China。Under constant denial and distortion,Traditional culture is constantly being dwarfed、uglification,nj bet365 history is constantly being nihilized。What needs to be emphasized is,Some foreign hostile forces subjugate our culture、The heart of destroying my history has been around for a long time。As early as during the war of aggression against China,Japan has imported Japanese culture to Northeastern my country on a crazy scale,And tried to use colonial culture to suppress and oppress nj bet365 culture,Even replace it,Make nj bet365 people “return to their hearts” forever。At school,Students don’t just speak Japanese,I also know how to sing Japanese songs,Can read Japanese literature;The Japanese even established a special music、Dance School,Professor’s tunes and movements,Totally Japanese。July 1940,The Wang Puppet National Government promulgated the "Opinions on Curriculum Adjustments for Primary and Secondary Schools",The status of Japanese language in primary and secondary school curricula is actually recognized。Spring 1942,The government has even banned the practice of English,Requiring Japanese as a major compulsory course for junior high schools and above。Anyway,Use all means to create a school environment and atmosphere,Influence students in a subtle way。This is a kind of "wanting to destroy his clan,The mind-attack tactic of "must destroy its culture first",It is a bloodless war in which "culture and education capture the people"。

 Play the movement of the war to defend the history of nj bet365 civilization

Just like the diversity of species in the world,The nj bet365 of world civilization has always been characterized by the diversity of civilizations and cultures。A country formed by a nation,Their historical development and the culture created,It has its own value and meaning。Putting one civilization over another,Use one culture to cover another culture,Even implement a formatted strangulation policy,This itself is cultural hegemony。Weak culture should work hard to become stronger,Renovation and innovation,Otherwise, you can only give up on yourself,Bringing self-disgrace or even destruction。

Now,Socialism with nj bet365 characteristics has entered a new era,We must advocate returning to China’s own history,Promote nj bet365 Civilization,Of course not Yelang is arrogant,It’s not like being conservative,It’s not stagnation or regression,But to eliminate cultural self-abuse、Cultural inferiority,Continuously enhance cultural confidence;It is to find the roots and continuity of nj bet365 civilization,Continue the spirit and value of Yuan Dian that has been gathering dust for a long time,Inspire their creativity and influence。To this,To simply summarize it as “the sublation of negation of negation” is obviously not accurate,We should rise to phoenix nirvana、Return to the capital and start a new one。

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: “Culture is a country、The soul of a nation。Culture revitalizes the country and prosperity,Strong culture and strong nation。No high cultural confidence,Prosperity without culture,There will be no great rejuvenation of the nj bet365 nation。We must adhere to the development path of socialist culture with nj bet365 characteristics,Stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity vitality of the whole nation,Building a strong socialist cultural country。”“Develop socialist culture with nj bet365 characteristics,It is guided by Marxism,Adhere to the stance of nj bet365 culture,Based on the reality of contemporary China,Combined with the conditions of today’s era,Develop towards modernization、To the world、Future-oriented,National scientific mass socialist culture,Promote the coordinated development of socialist spiritual civilization and material civilization。We must persist in serving the people、Serve socialism,Insist on letting a hundred flowers bloom、A hundred schools of thought contend,Insist on creative transformation、Innovative development,Continuously create new glories for nj bet365 culture。”The way will be done,The article is irrelevant?Being in such a great new era,We should take the promotion of nj bet365 civilization as our own responsibility,With the spirit of "God will be gentle and gentle",Rewriting nj bet365 history,To welcome the great rejuvenation of the nj bet365 nation。

The nj bet365 Dream of the great rejuvenation of the nj bet365 nation,The most important thing is the dream of cultural renaissance。Gu Yanwu pointed out in "Rizhilu·Zhengshi": "There is a danger of country subjugation,The world will die。The subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world?曰: Yi surname changed number,It is called the subjugation of the country;full of benevolence and righteousness,As for leading beasts to eat humans,People will eat each other,It is called the destruction of the world。...It is the old knowledge that protects the world,Then know how to protect the country。Guardian,His king and his ministers,Meat eaters seek this;Those who protect the world,How can one be held responsible for the humbleness of a common man。”This inspires us,Contemporary nj bet365 history researchers should get rid of their inertia of “Western-centrism” cognition,Back to the scenes of nj bet365 history,Take on the important task of reviving nj bet365 civilization。

The choice of path to eliminate “Western-centrism” in nj bet365 historical research

Facts proved,As long as we change our mindset,Strong cultural confidence,The battle to defend the history of nj bet365 civilization will surely achieve a shocking success,The traditional nj bet365 civilization will surely shine with dazzling brilliance。What was once called “burden” turns into a cocoon and becomes a butterfly、Turn around and become our country’s strategic resource,Became the brightest pearl in world civilization。After all,China is the only country in the world where civilization has not been interrupted。We have every reason to build cultural confidence,And further strengthen this confidence。

Of course,Cannot deny,Since the 1980s,The voice against “Western-centrism” in my country’s academic circles has never stopped,Not only in the field of history,Others such as literature、Education、The same is true for the translation academic community。In recent years,The voice against “Western-centrism” is getting louder。current,The main problem in our country’s academic circles is that they focus too much on criticism,Eager to deny,Missing some exploration and application in practice,Say more,Doing less,More destruction and less establishment,Far from being truly implemented,Still far away。For example,The translation of the book "Discovering History in China" by American scholar Ke Wen in 1984 was published in mainland China in 2002,His "China-centered view" is popular。It’s a pity that there is little rain under the roaring thunder,After the hustle and bustle there is a long silence。Really start from China itself,Supported by "internal source theory",There are very few research results on writing historical inheritance using nj bet365 historical discourse。Long time,Inertia of thinking influenced by Western history,It is not easy to innovate in historical research,Get it done in one go。

Anyway,Future research on nj bet365 history urgently needs to move from west to east,From outward to inward,Focus on one’s own evolution,Reshaping local history,Constructing a disciplinary system of history with nj bet365 characteristics、Academic system and discourse system。In the field of history,The flower of nj bet365 civilization will surely bloom。In a nutshell,If nj bet365 history needs to be re-nj bet365,We must get rid of "Western-centrism"。
