唯物史观与中国经济史学的形成

中国经济史学的形成和发展与唯物史观的传播密不可分。20世纪二三十年代社会史论战的中心是如何运用唯物史观认识中国历史上的社会经济形态,这次论战启动了中国经济史研究的第一次高潮,而现代意义的中国经济史学正是在这次高潮中形成的。活跃在这次高潮中的各派学者程度不同、先后不一地受到唯物史观的影响。由于唯物史观的指导和影响,中国经济史学一开始就形成了社会经济史的传统。

Materialism and the Formation of China's Economic History

The formation and development of China's economic history is closely related with the wide spread of materialism. The central argument in the 20s and 30s in the 20th century was how to view social and economical state in China's history by means of materialism, which started the first wave of study in economic history. The significance of China's economic history in a modern sense is just based on this wave. Scholars of different schools have been influenced by this wave more or less. Under the influence and guidance of materialism, China's economic history is printed at first with the tradition of social history.
