摘要

本文是筆者在廣州中山大學八十週年校慶活動的演說稿。在演說的過程中，我無意對漢人的區域研究提出一個理論範式，也不可能對過去所有研究有一個全面性的觀照。主要的重點是從中山大學的地理位置與學術發展過程中，表達個人對跨區域比較研究和歷史人類學的重視，也唯有如此才有可能掌握漢人社會文化的基本特質，以及所謂的「漢人」在不同時空的變異。

This paper was originally presented as a speech on the occasion of the 80^(th) anniversary of Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou. In this paper I do not attempt to offer a paradigm of regional study, nor do I presume to give a comprehensive review of past researches. Rather, my purpose is merely to express my main concern with cross-regional study and historical anthropology in the context of the location and academic development of Sun Yat-Sen University. In addition, I try to maintain that only through the perspectives of cross-regional study and historical anthropology will we be able to grasp the fundamental traits of Chinese culture and society and the diversity of Chinese across time and space.
