现在学术界一般认为白寿彝先生开始关注和研究小儿锦的时间是1952年。事实上,在20世纪30年代的伊斯兰教史研究中,他已经开始涉及中国穆斯林民间使用广泛的小儿锦。民国26年(1937年),他在《申报》上发表的《从“小锦”说到边疆教育上的文字问题》一文是目前发现学术界对小儿锦最早的研究,具有开创性。本文以第一手的资料为基础,结合已有的零星研究,就白寿彝先生对小儿锦研究的缘起、重要价值、推广使用的可能性以及社会反响作一个初步的探讨,以期拓宽白寿彝的伊斯兰教研究历程。 Now academics generally believe that Mr. Bai Shouyi began to pay attention to and study of pediatric Kam time is 1952. In fact, in the study of Islamic history in the 1930s, he had begun to deal with a wide range of children’s journals widely used by Chinese Muslims. In his 26th year (1937), his article “From the Perspective of Literary Translation” on “Literary Writing in Frontier Education” was the earliest seminal study on pediatric studies in academia. Based on the first-hand information and the existing sporadic studies, this paper makes a preliminary study on the origin, important value, promotion and use of the research and social repercussions of Mr. Bai Shou-yi in order to broaden Bai Shouyi’s Islamic research process.
