作为区域文化的吴文化,在中华民族传统文化中占有什么地位,在继承和扬弃传统文化上起过些什么影响,在建设有中国特色的社会主义文化领域中起什么作用,正在得到更多的专家、学者的重视。这标志着吴文化研究正在趋于成熟。这里,我就当前吴文化研究谈两点看法。一、开拓研究的新领域。纵观半个多世纪以来(指1936年“吴越文化研究会”成立以后),吴文化的研究在微观方面尽管进度较大,成果不少,但还有许多研究领域有待开拓。因为在已有的成果方面,似存在着比较明显的局限,一是研究主要集中在先秦和明清两个时期;二是即使这两个时期,研究的题材也比较狭窄,对先秦吴文化的探讨主要依靠古代文献和考古发现考察其起源、形 What kind of influence Wu culture as a regional culture occupies in the traditional Chinese culture, what influence it has on inheriting and abandoning traditional culture and what role it plays in building a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is getting more Experts, scholars attention.
