The re-establishment ofcloser ties between the USSR and the People's Republic of China since Gorbachev's visit to Beijing in May of 1989 raises questions regarding the legacy of an earlier period of Sino-Soviet co-operation. In the social sciences the Soviet influence was considerable, for the Soviet 'model' served as a template for the reorganization of these disciplines in China. Even the breakup of the Sino-Soviet alliance in the late 1950s could not erase such influences, for by then the institutional, theoretical and personnel structures of Chinese academia had been transformed. In the anthropological sciences, certainly, the Soviet imprint is still clearly discernible over thirty ears later. The very definition of the field in China is itself testimony to such influence, for China's anthropology closely parallels the Soviet design. In the Soviet Union, anthropology has long been defined solely as physical anthropology, the study of human evolution and contemporary human biological variation. The study of contemporary cultures and societies was reserved for ethnography (if dealing with minority nationalities and peasant populations) and sociology (if dealing with 'modem' groups). Both ethnography and archaeology, moreover, were considered branches of history and accorded that placement in research institutes and universities. Linguistics led an independent academic life.

The Chinese have traditionally regarded history as a mirror eflecting glimpses of the past as a guide to the present. During the 1980s, the tradition of compiling difangzhi (local gazetteers) was revived in that spirit. Several new gazetteers have already been published, and an increasing number will come out in the 1990s. The difangzhi are at the same time local histories and descriptions of the contemporary state of affairs in a certain locality, typically a province, a city or a county. By focusing on contemporary history at the local level the gazetteers offer glimpses of the recent past which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere. They will undoubtedly be important sources for Chinese regional studies in the future, as they provide us with detailed information o local geography, natural conditions and infrastructure, on demographic and economic developments, on political, military, social and cultural affairs, on local customs and dialects and on important local
