明代以降六百年间中国的人口流动──评《中国移民史》明清近代分卷

中国移民史）明清近代分卷（第五、第六两卷）围绕战乱、人口损失、移民浪潮这样的线索展开，重点求证本时期移民的数量和规模，描绘出了从明代到近代约六百年间移民分布的总图，可谓完成了一项浩繁的系统工程。但分卷更值得称道的是在学术规范上为读者树立了一个范例：学术是一个批判、继承与积累的过程。背离规范的'研究'并无意义。

On Population Movements during the Post-Ming Times: A Book Review on the Fifth and Sixth Volumes of Emigration History of China

The steps taken by the author to trace the population movements during the post-Ming times, are focused on the chaoscaused by wars, population lost, and then emigration waves. An emphasis is placed on seeking to know the number of emigrants andthe scope of the movements. A picture of population movements during the 600 years post-Ming period is presented. This is really abig project. More praiseworthy of this book is that it demonstrates a normative scholarly work to us: scholarly research is a process ofcriticism, inheritance, and accumulation. "Research" not abiding by this criterion is worthless.
