An Marxist Analysis of Peasant Wars and Historical Development: A Review of Tian Changwu' s Research on the History of Peasant Wars

The research on peasant wars constitutes an important part of Tian Changwu’s historic study and also serves as a fulcrum for him to explore the historical laws in China’s historical development.His theoretical analysis and field inspections took the course of its own and became the ’statements of a school’,speaking volume of his sense of historical mission and social responsibility as an historian.Although his research is inevitably subject to limitations due to the impact of the times he lived in,the principle of unity of history and logic and the spirit of seeking truth from facts upheld by him are still applicable to today’s study.His concerns with and sympathy for the fate of the peasants reflect his profound humanistic feelings.
