一、学科性质与研究对象 中国民族史学,由族别史、民族关系史、通史体中国民族史、中华民族形成史、民族考古、民族地区历 史地理等几个部分组成,不仅全面探讨中国各民族及整个中华民族起源、形成、发展的史事、人物、政治、经济、文化、社会等各个层面的发展过程与特点,并力求探讨其中的规律性。 中国民族史学,是中国历史学有机的组成部分。缺少中国民族史,不反映中国各民族对中国历史发展所 作的贡献的中国历史,是不完整也不科学的;背离中国历史发展的整体性去探讨和叙述任何中国民族的历 史,则违背了中国民族历史发展的基本方向和本质特征,因而也是片面和不科学的。本书属通史体中国民族 史,既力求按不同地区反映中国各民族历史的基本面貌;又力求从总体上叙述中国古今众多的民族如何形成 为统一的多民族国家,以及各民族对祖国历史的贡献。 First, the nature and subject of research Chinese ethnic history, by the history of ethnic groups, ethnic relations, general history of Chinese nation history, the history of the formation of the Chinese nation, ethnic archeology, history and geography of ethnic areas and other parts, not only a comprehensive study of all ethnic groups in China As well as the development process and characteristics of all aspects of the history, character, politics, economy, culture and society of the origin, formation and development of the entire Chinese nation and strive to explore its regularity. Chinese ethnic history is an organic part of Chinese history. The history of China, which lacks the history of China’s nationalities and does not reflect the contributions made by various ethnic groups in China to the development of China’s history, is neither complete nor scientific. Deviation from the integrity of China’s historical development to discuss and narrate the history of any Chinese nation runs counter to China’s The basic direction and essential characteristics of the development of the national history are therefore one-sided and unscientific. This book is a general history of Chinese national history, both strive to reflect the basic features of different regions of the history of all ethnic groups in China; and strive to describe in general from the ancient and modern Chinese many ethnic how to form a unified multi-ethnic country, as well as various nationalities on the history of the motherland contribution.
