Features: The term "new history" refers to the historiography that emerged under the influence of foreign academic thought, reflecting the characteristics of modern society. It is closely related to traditional historiography but also has significant differences. In the process of modernization of Chinese historiography in the 20th century, the pursuit of "newness" was a common goal of various schools. This book provides a systematic exposition of the historiographical thought of the early period of modern China. This volume reflects the historical trends and historiographical direction of that time, outlining the contours of historiographical development, especially showing expertise in the study of historiography in the Yan'an region. Hong Qingzheng devoted himself to academic pursuits with unwavering dedication, often spending almost the entire day in front of the computer, and finally wrote a monograph that highlighted the highlights of historiography at the time. This volume also includes insightful research on Sun Yat-sen's historiographical thought. For a work, it is still better to focus on one's own insights—such is the nature of independent scholarship! The issue of the national character and temporal relevance of historiography has already been raised in the modernization process of Chinese historiography.
