“土司学”的提出与推进

“土司学”的提出以及推进的速度和力度需要总体考察与评估。“土司学”最初只是明清时期学校教育实体的名称，自从作为一个专门学科概念被阐发以后，引起了政界和学界的重视，并取得类似于国家社科基金课题的扶植、土司遗产成功申报为世界文化遗产等良好的社会效益。然而，“土司学”推进的力度仍然有限，这需要在重视土司资料发掘整理和研究内容视野拓展、加强土司学学科理论体系的构建两个着力点上取得突破。

On the Proposal and Advancement of the Study of Tusi

The proposal and advancement of the study of Tusi should be examined and evaluated comprehensively.The study of Tusi,as a name of school education entity during the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing (1316—1912) dynasties,now has caused great attention in the political and academic circles since it is illustrated as a specialized study.With the support of national social science fund and the success of the application for the world cultural heritage,the concept is getting more and more influential.However,the study of Tusi is still limited.To make a breakthrough in the study,attentions should be paid to two aspects,one is to widen materials and content,the other is to strengthen its theoretical foundation.
