【摘要】：中国拥有"上下五千年"连续的文明历史,"纵横一万里"复杂的地理空间。复杂的地理空间,使得各别体量的地域之间,自古至今存在着自然与人文的种种差异,并孕育出或显或隐、或鲜明或模糊的地域意识、地域特色。由此,研究中国历史,自当重视地理空间的差异与地域历史的过程。在中国,特别关注地理空间的学科是历史地理学;而通过历史地理学尤其是区域历史地理学的地域思维,追寻各别地域形成的历史过程,观照其共同传统,解释地域之间的差异,研究不同地域的冲突与融合,可以建立起区别于"狭义"历史学的、研究与解释中国历史的新体系。除了历史地理学外,狭义的当今中国历史学也越来越重视"地域"研究。这样的研究,又可分别为两类:一类是揭示地域意识或地域面貌的研究,其"地域"从历时的过程看,范围并不确定,内容也在变化之中,而研究的目的,部分的在于明确"地域"由远而近的范围盈缩之变与内容因时之变;另一类关涉历史的"地域"研究,或被径称为"地域学",它致力于研究确定"地域"的时间过程与内容结构,其操作步骤或技术方法,往往是由近而远的追溯式研究。
[Abstract]:China has a continuous civilization history of "five thousand years up and down", and the complex geographical space of "ten thousand miles and horizontal". The complex geographical space makes the differences between the natural and the humanities from ancient times to so far. When we attach great importance to the differences in geographical space and the process of regional history. In China, the subject of special attention to geographical space is historical geography, and through historical geography, especially the regional thinking of regional historical geography, it seeks the historical process of the formation of different regions, looks at its common tradition, explains the differences between regions, and studies the different regions. Conflict and integration can establish a new system that distinguishes history from "narrow sense" and studies and interpretations of Chinese history. In addition to historical geography, the history of Chinese history in the narrow sense has also paid more and more attention to "regional" research. This kind of research can be divided into two categories: one is the study of regional consciousness or geographical features, and its "region" is from time to time. In the course of the process, the scope is uncertain and the content is changing, and the purpose of the study is to clarify the change of "region" from far to close range and the change of the content and time; the other kind of "regional" research involved in history, or is called "Regional Science", is devoted to the study of the time process and content structure of "region", and its operation. Steps or technical methods are often traced back to near and far.
