摘　　要：接受考古专业训练之前,夏鼐求学过程几经转折。由国难刺激而激发的忧患意识以及渴望获取历史知识,是他择定转入清华历史系的主要原因。他侧重研治中国近代外交史和经济史,所提出的一些观点在当时均有新意。他不仅强调研究中国近代史的必要性,并重视利用新材料、综合比照中外资料以求得较准确结论,希望将中国史学特别是近代史研究“建立在科学的基础上”。夏鼐专攻中国近代史并有研究心得,可视为蒋廷黻主持清华历史系期间培养史学人才的成效。这一学术训练,也深刻影响了他日后的考古学研究。Before receiving the archaeological professional training,Xia Nai’s study process had several turning points.The sense of distress stimulated by the national disaster and the desire to acquire historical knowledge are the main reasons why he chose to transfer to the history department of Tsinghua University.He focused on the study of modern Chinese diplomatic history and economic history,and put forward some views that were new at that time.He not only emphasized the necessity of studying modern Chinese history,but also paid attention to the use of new materials and comprehensive comparison of Chinese and foreign materials to obtain more accurate conclusions,hoping to establish Chinese historiography,especially the study of modern history,on the basis of science.Xia Nai specialized in modern Chinese history and had research experience in modern Chinese history,which could be regarded as an effect of training historiography talents in the history Department of Tsinghua University presided by Jiang Tingfu.This academic training also deeply influenced his future archaeological research.
