This paper offers some personal thoughts on the relationship between writing and historical research. ''Writing'' in historical studies can mean a number of things. It can simply stand for ways of looking at the human past or ways of choosing significant issues to explore. So, how to ''write'' may mean how to ''construct'' pictures of history that are meaningful. ''Writing'' in historical studies may also refer to ways of presenting or organizing historical knowledge. ''Writing'' in this sense could be applied to tasks such as the writing of general histories and history textbooks. Actually, in the past, the whole enterprise of historical study often came under the banner of ''writing history'' or ''historical writing.'' |
