摘要
中国近代史的叙事问题对于当前而言极为重要。在此问题上,应当将富强叙事、阶级叙事、文明叙事结合起来。虽然三者各有侧重,但在形成整体性的叙事时,应从三者所共同涵盖的部分着眼,以三者的内在共性与相互关联为基础,旁涉三者各自的侧重点。这种结合,即以文明叙事凸显中国近代史演进过程中体现出来的中华文化的历史厚度与德性品质;以富强叙事彰显中国近代史上大多数集团、群体参与历史活动时的普遍心理共性与共同诉求,并启发人们思考成败得失之道;以阶级叙事呈现中国近代史上所面临的基本困境,以及真正能走出这些困境的历史力量,并从中总结值得后人珍视的历史经验。
Narration of modern Chinese history is an extremely important issue for us today.The author argues that the three narratives,namely,the narrative of wealth and strength,the narrative of class and the narrative of civilization,should be combined.Although the three narratives have their own emphases,when combined into one single narrative,their overlapping part should be focused upon,their internal commonality and co-relevance should be taken as foundational and their respective emphases only marginal.In this combination,the narrative of civilization is meant to highlight the profound historicity and virtue quality of Chinese culture as manifested in the evolution of modern Chinese history,the narrative of wealth and strength to reveal the shared mentality and common appeals of most groups,collectives and forces involved in historical activities whose success or failure may inspire reflections,and the narrative of class to present the basic dilemmas in modern Chinese history as well as the historical forces and historical processes that have truly solved those dilemmas,thus providing valuable historical experiences for future generations.
