为了阐述埃利亚斯历史社会学的主要特色，分析了埃利亚斯历史社会学的核心议题文明进程及其文明化理论。分析认为，埃利亚斯文明化理论主张:社会文明不仅是一个过程，还取决于相互联系、相互促进的人格结构变迁和社会结构变迁；文化与文明在英国、法国和德国的不同内涵及其在上述国家的社会起源，反映了它们是特定历史时期与社会形态下不同社会力量之间关系结构的产物；个体行为方式的变迁亦经历了日常行为举止的文明化及其隐入私人生活、社会行为的文明化3个阶段。

Process of civilization: the core issue of Elias historical sociology

To elaborate the main characteristics of Elias historical sociology, this paper analyzed the core issue of Elias historical sociology, namely, the civilization process and its civilization theory. The results show that Elias civilization theory claims that social civilization is not only a process but depends on interrelated and mutually promoted personality structure changes and social structure changes; the different connotations and social origins of culture and civilization in Britain, France, and German reflect that they are the products of relation structure among different social powers in certain historical periods and social patterns; the changes of individual behavior pattern also experience 3 stages, including daily behavior civilization, daily behavior civilization hiding in personal life, and social behavior civilization. 
