关于义和团起源的文化地理思考－兼议史学研究的方法论问题

义和团运动的社会成因既要从社会制度产生危机的内外根源来寻找，也要从发生地的局部社会结构和民间文化因素来寻找。义和团运动为什么首先出现在鲁西，而不是出现在受帝国主义经济冲击更为严重的广东及江南地区？义和团宗教形式的来源究竞是白莲教，还是鲁西民间文化？义和团本身的习武内容，属于“武术”抑或“巫术”？对这些问题的探讨有助于全面揭示义和团运动的起源。

The social reasons of Yihetuan Movement came not only from the social system of that time, but also from the social structure and the folk culture in the locality. Why did it originate in the west region of Shandong Province,but not in Guangdong or the south region of the Yangtze River,where the economy was harder lashed by the imperialism ? Was the religious ceremony of Yihetuan originated from Bai Lian Jiao or the folk culture of the west region of Shandong Province ? What was the nature of the habit of practising boxing in Yihetuan? Discussing these questions can help us reveal the origin of Yihetuan Movement .
