11月6日,全国高校首个冷门绝学学院在中国社会科学院大学成立,同时中国社会科学院大学还牵头发起了包括清华大学、中国第一历史档案馆等在内的“全国冷门绝学联盟”,通过资源共享、协同攻关、人才共育等措施,推动冷门绝学在新时代薪火相传。冷门绝学有哪些?发展现状又如何?怎样让冷门不冷、绝学不绝?《新闻1+1》本期关注:“冷门绝学”学院,谁来教?怎么学?

“冷门”能冷到什么程度?现实生活面临的困境有哪些?

中国社会科学院大学副校长、冷门绝学学院院长 展龙:冷到什么程度?一句话:冷在关注度,绝在传承链。概括起来大概是三个字。

第一个就是“少”。像突厥文、西夏文、契丹文、女真文、满文、纳西东巴文、古藏文、彝文等,背后都有数万件文献,但有些文种目前面临断档的危险。比如吐火罗文、粟特文、于阗文、佉卢文等,目前已经濒临灭亡。所以说,传承冷门绝学,关键是要保留文献。文献没有了,人才断了,这个绝学就真的绝了。

第二个就是“散”。文献分布在全球各地,没有汇聚起来。

第三个就是“慢”。冷门绝学人才成长慢,识读一种文字从入门到可以识读需要十多年时间;此外,冷门绝学的成果产出、发表也比较慢。

所以,冷门绝学最怕的不是没人知道,而是断了没人传、没人接得住。

整合起来变成学院进行研究,能解决现实中的哪些问题?

中国社会科学院大学副校长、冷门绝学学院院长 展龙:过去冷门绝学主要分布在不同研究机构,不同的学院,而冷门绝学本身的学科特性是多学科的。如何把多学科、多领域整合起来,形成一个有建制的、实体化的机构,这是一个必然趋势。因此,我们就是要把整个社科院分布在各所的研究力量整合起来,形成一个长效的可以造学的机构。这样就能打破过去单从分散各学院的项目资助式短期的传承模式,才能确保冷门绝学持久地、建制化地传承下去。通过人才培养实现传承血脉,传承学术的目的。

有没有可能师资准备得很好却招不来学生?

中国社会科学院大学副校长、冷门绝学学院院长 展龙:中国社会科学院是我国冷门绝学的策源地和引领者,长期以来汇聚了一大批研究力量,这也是社科大成立冷门绝学学院最大的底气。我们成立这个学院,就是要培养人才,解决人才断档、人才匮乏的问题,解决文脉传承的问题。学院在人才培养上不追求规模,而是追求少而精,就是真正把那些有志向、有情怀、有担当、有定力的学生选拔到这支队伍中来。近期我们还启动了冷门绝学本科“鼎堂班”,选拔标准主要看学生是否具备这几点。所以我们成立学院不是“抢人”,而是“找人”,找到那些真正愿意把一生托付给冷门绝学传承的人,这是我们成立学院的主要目的。

甲骨、简帛等冷门绝学的价值到底在什么地方?

清华大学出土文献研究与保护中心主任 黄德宽:首要的价值就在于,甲骨文等古文字对中华文明传承发展的价值。中华文明历史悠久,早期的历史靠古文字来记载、保存。我们现在了解古代历史,主要靠传世文献,而甲骨文、简帛这些文字是当时的人记录和保留下来的,是一手的原始材料。我们建设现代文明要立足于传统文化,更好地认识中华文明的过去,有利于推进当代文明建设。所以从文明传承发展来说,我们离不开古文字,也要开展古文字研究,这也是甲骨文等古文字重要的现实意义和价值。

从我们使用文字的角度来说,今天每一个人都在写汉字。汉字是世界上唯一从本土起源、延续使用几千年而没有中断的文字,这在世界文明史上是唯一的。甲骨文和现代汉字相比,虽然过了三千多年,但汉字的结构是稳定的,形态虽有变化,古今一看有差别,但这种发展演变是可以联系起来的。我们通过古文字研究,可以揭示汉字从古至今的演变历史,可以更好地了解每一个字是如何构造的,每一个字背后的历史文化内涵。当我们每一个写中国字、认汉字的人,都能了解汉字背后深厚的历史文化内涵,我们就可以把文化传承发展好、把文字使用好。这对推进语文教育和传统文化教育都非常有意义。

怎么通过就业保障,让人才源源不断?

清华大学出土文献研究与保护中心主任 黄德宽:这个问题,确实是我们古文字冷门绝学发展面临的一个比较重要、不容回避的问题。我们要传承发展冷门绝学,像甲骨文等古文字研究这样的学科,要发展就得做到薪火相传,一代一代传下去。历史上,我们这些冷门绝学之所以还能传到今天,有赖于许多学者长期甘愿坐冷板凳,能够坚守在这样一个领域持续努力、持续工作,这样这个学科才能做到后继有人、绝学不绝。

今天发展冷门绝学、重视冷门绝学,对现代社会来说,年轻人要走进这个门槛不太容易。首先要通过宣传普及,让年轻人了解学习甲骨文等古文字的现实意义和重大价值,再经过严格训练,养成良好学风,打下扎实基础,让他学成,成为未来的传人。

但很现实的问题是,花了很长时间学完以后,能不能发挥好自己的作用,就要解决就业问题。所以我期待社会更加关注古文字学科的发展,给冷门绝学的学生提供更多就业机会。其实,如果我们重视了这个学科,这个学科的就业前景应该是比较广的。

On October 30, the Ministry of Education announced the "Guidelines for the Prevention of Illegal Infringements in the Workplace of Schools and Educational Services Institutions at All Levels", which for the first time included explicit protection of teachers' "offline rights" during non-attendance time. The All-China Federation of Education affirms progress, but points out that there is still room for ambiguity in the guidelines and deletes words related to teachers’ organizations. It calls on the government to complete the supervision mechanism for teachers’ organizations and implement workplace protection for teachers.
