Features: Doing research work requires two conditions: one is to be knowledgeable and well-informed, able to gather and sift through various documents and material evidence, widely cite references, and seek more evidence. It is especially important to understand elementary studies, recognize characters, and discern sounds, so as to differentiate between historical texts and classic histories. The other is to have a scientific mind, logical training, rigorous verification, extensive and dense reasoning, and meticulous attention to detail. When making judgments, one must be like an experienced judge in a legal case, objective and calm, free from preconceptions and emotions. Comrade Longwei possesses both of these strengths, which is why he can use research methods to study modern Chinese history in ways that others cannot, see what others cannot see, and say what others cannot say. This book is a collection of academic essays by Professor Qiu Longwei. It consists of two volumes. The first volume mainly discusses the methods and principles of research methodology, while the second volume selects some reading notes. The renowned Qing history scholar, Professor Dai Yi, wrote the preface.
