Features: The Review of Economic—Social History has finally been published. All those who have been looking forward to its birth, all those who have worked hard for its creation, and all those who are engaged in economic—social history research or are concerned with this discipline are delighted. Chinese historiography in the 21st century faces the profound historical changes taking place in Chinese society and the various issues raised by the entire human society under the theme of peace and development. The political, economic, and cultural construction of contemporary China, as well as the peace and development of the world, not only require Chinese historians to draw nourishment from the social, economic, and cultural life of China and foreign countries in history but also increasingly demand that they learn from the social life of China and foreign countries in history. This is because the history and reality of all humankind have shown that social life is not merely a microcosm or reflection of political, economic, and cultural life but has also been influencing them continuously. Moreover, as the level of modernization increases, its influence becomes even greater. What is even more important is that the historical process of humankind so far has fully demonstrated that the more advanced and developed political, economic, and cultural life becomes, the more the focus of human life shifts toward the social level. The principle of a small government and a large society in China's modernization process is a powerful proof of this. The Review of Economic—Social History has finally been published.
