中国邮驿史研究的回顾与反思

近30年来不少学者致力于中国邮驿发展史研究,并取得了丰硕的成果,这些成果大致可分为：通史性邮驿史研究,这其中包括邮驿发展的通史性概述和邮驿自身要素的通史性论述;断代性邮驿史研究,主要分为邮驿初步成型时期、邮驿发展完善时期、邮驿高度发达时期、邮驿由盛转衰时期和邮驿近代转型时期;区域性邮驿史研究,涉及到东、西地区的邮驿发展状况。综观这些成果,虽然涉及面广、时间跨度长,但认真反思后会发现,这些成果还存在着诸如时空分布不均衡和不协调、缺乏相应的联系与比较、着重于叙述、轻于归纳和部分细节问题有待考证等局限性,这些问题表明,邮驿史研究有必要进一步完善和提升。通过对中国邮驿史研究的回顾,将有助于总结既往、找到不足。总体看来,我国邮驿史研究还需要在内容的拓展、思维创新等方面着力突破。
