1938年夏天,美国年轻学者科尼利尔斯.奥斯古德为了履行与燕京大学的合作计划,不远万里来到滇池西岸一个名不见经传的小村庄调查。1961年,他开启尘封的笔记本,整理旧资料,补充新文献,完成了《旧中国的农村生活:对云南高峣的社区研究》。70年过去,重温科尼利尔斯.奥斯古德的研究历程,我们仍会从中获得许多有益的启示。 In the summer of 1938, Cornelius Osgood, a young American scholar, came to an unknown small village in the west bank of Dianchi Lake in order to fulfill its cooperation plan with Yanjing University. In 1961, he opened a dusty notebook, sorted out the old data and supplemented the new literature, completing “Rural Life in Old China: A Community Study of Gaotang in Yunnan Province.” In the past 70 years, reviewing the research history of Cornelius Osgood will give us many useful insights.
