文章客观的介绍了田涛先生所写《被冷落的真实——新山村调查手记》一书,指出本书将一种全新的研究方法引入史学研究之中,即田野调查——对2000年7月在浙江黄岩县发现的一批“黄岩档案”的田野调查,同时也指出,仅以“黄岩档案”研究清代法制状况与变迁,难免有点偏颇,但瑕不掩玉,本书仍不失为一个成功的尝试。 The article objectively introduces Mr. Tian Tao’s book “The Forgotten Truth - A Survey of Investigations in Xin Shan Village” and points out that this book introduces a completely new method of research into the study of history, that is, the field investigation - In addition, a batch of “Yellow Rock Files” field investigations discovered in January in Huangyan County of Zhejiang Province also pointed out that it is inevitable to study the status and changes of the legal system in the Qing Dynasty only based on the “Huangyan Archives”. However, The book is still a successful attempt.
