Features: The study of the history of the Republic of China, which began in the 1970s, has yielded abundant results. In Nanjing, the former site where Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president of the Republic of China and the capital of the Republic of China, a new school of thought in the study of the Republic of China era has quietly emerged, represented by scholars such as Professor Zhang Xianwen—the "Nanjing School." This collection of essays embodies this concept, featuring 33 papers by scholars of the "Nanjing School," centered around the Research Center for the Republic of China Era at Nanjing University. The essays analyze and research the economic policies and development, social changes and transformations, the evolution of ideological concepts, and various cultural phenomena during the Republic of China period. The topics are novel, the perspectives broad, the evidence substantial, and the structure rigorous, reflecting the new developments in the field of Republic of China history research.
