《论康熙》是刘大年先生1961年发表的论文,被认为是其在学术界引起激烈争论的三篇重要论文之一。~⑥50余年后读来,仍被刘大年先生富于思辨、优美流畅的文笔和逻辑缜密、掷地有声的话语所吸引,也为其历久弥新的观点所震撼,并引发思考:50多年来我们的史学研究真的进步了吗?有没有因为思想和方法的混乱而使我们在重大历史问题的研究中不仅没有使问题明晰反而更加纷繁复杂、莫衷一是了呢? “On Kangxi,” a paper published by Mr. Liu Dainian in 1961, is considered as one of the three major papers that have caused heated debates in academia. ~ ⑥ After reading more than 50 years, still attracted by Liu Dainian’s rich and well-thought-out, graceful and smooth writing, logical and exhilarating discourse, he is also shocked by his time-honored viewpoint and triggered his thinking: For over 50 years our history Is research really progressing?
