Features: In the 1920s, China was a period of transition where the Beijing government controlled by the Warlord Party switched to the Nanjing government under the Kuomintang's rule. It was also a critical time when the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang moved from cooperation to launch the National Revolution Movement and the Northern Expedition to eventual rupture and the outbreak of civil war. Additionally, it was an era of fluctuating economy, the continuation of the New Culture Movement, and social turbulence and transformation. Conducting in-depth research on this period holds significant academic importance for understanding the course of Chinese history in the first half of the 20th century.
