主持者言:近年,“基层社会与国家权力”已成为历史学、社会学和政治学等领域学人们共同关心并展开多视角探讨的热点课题。令人欣慰的是,这方面陆续涌现出一些有价值、有新意的论著,在相对多的问题上取得了可喜的进展。如先秦的血缘群体与地缘组织的交融、秦汉豪民社会、隋唐士人演进、宋元明清社会控制方式转换、近代绅士与乡村秩序,等等。这些既是阶段性的学术成果,也能为现实的政治改革和社会进步提供有益的借鉴。本期荟萃编辑了“历史上基层社会与国家权力”一组笔谈。希望引起学人们更多的兴趣与争鸣,为相关研究增添新成果和新助力。 Moderator: In recent years, “grassroots society and state power” has become a hot topic for people in the fields of history, sociology and political science to jointly care about and explore multi-angles of view. Fortunately, there are some valuable and innovative works emerging in this area, which have made encouraging progress on relatively many issues. Such as the blending of kinship groups and geopolitical organizations in the pre-Qin period, the heroic society in Qin and Han dynasties, the evolution of scholars in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the social control transition in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the modern gentleman and rural order, and so on. These are not only academic achievements in phases, but also provide useful lessons for practical political reform and social progress. This issue is a collection of biographies edited by the editors of “Historical Grassroots Society and State Power.” I hope to arouse more interest and controversy from the scholars and add new achievements and new boosts to relevant research.
