Features: Over the past century, there have been three major reassessments, each of which constructed a new knowledge system, category, concepts, discourse, and even paradigm for China. These reassessments provided new theoretical foundations and action plans for China's salvation and survival, the transformation of Chinese civilization, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the development of China's revolution and modernization efforts. As a result, Chinese social sciences have moved closer to society and the public, permeating people's entire spiritual and material lives, and infiltrating into the comprehensive transformation of social systems. Over this century, the development of Chinese social sciences has provided a strong spiritual driving force and a solid spiritual support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. During this century, Chinese social sciences have undergone three large-scale reassessments of preceding academic, intellectual, and cultural traditions. Each reassessment not only brought a major leap forward in social sciences but also sparked a widespread ideological liberation and a significant improvement in the quality of the public. In fact, this reassessment process continues to this day. This has shaped the character of Chinese social sciences—progressive, advanced, and diverse.
