10年前,作为恩格斯名著《家庭、私有制和国家的起源》(以下简称《起源》)的学习札记,我曾发表小稿《关于原始社会的分期》。当时版面有限,刊出的只是原稿的后半部分。作为一篇相对完整的学习札记,我觉得原稿的前半部分难以割爱,尤以其中对某些问题的探讨和所提供的若干学术信息,似乎迄今仍有参考价值;再者,随着资料的增多、思考的深入,对原先的分期意见也有作些补充或订正的必要。因此,在纪念恩格斯(1820—1895)逝世100周年之际,写下了这篇《余论》。 Ten years ago, as a study note on Engels’s famous book “The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and Country” (hereinafter referred to as “Origin”), I published a small draft, “Staging of Primitive Society.” At that time, the layout was limited, and only the second half of the manuscript was published. As a relatively complete study notes, I think it is difficult to cut love in the first half of the manuscript, especially for some of the issues discussed and the number of academic information provided, it seems that so far there is a reference value; Moreover, as the data increase , Thinking in-depth, there are some amendments or amendments to the original staging needs. Therefore, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the death of Engels (1820-1895), this “remainder” was written.
