Features: Chinese historiography is a discipline under construction. From the recent development trends, this discipline requires the construction of branch disciplines such as the history of historical documents, the history of historical thought, the history of historical compilation, the history of historical literature, and comparative historical studies. Research on these branch disciplines can be period-specific, regional, or focused on individual historians, historical texts, or historical schools, as well as comprehensive studies on certain issues. This volume largely follows the framework of The History of Song Dynasty Historical Thought, but it is not merely a reprint of past works; it also incorporates new reflections. A deeper exploration of the relationship between Neo-Confucianism and historiography requires studying the connection between Song Dynasty's Book of Changes studies, Spring and Autumn Annals studies, and historiography. Viewing the historiography of the Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties as a whole is a perspective rooted in the context of world cultural development. The book includes: Ouyang Xiu's historiographical thought, the historical views of the brothers Cheng Yi, the historical philosophy of Huajijing and Shao Yong, Liao Dynasty society and historiographical thought, Jin Dynasty historiographical thought, and Lu Zuxian's historiographical thought, etc.
