Features: This book is a volume of The 20th Century Chinese Social Sciences, aiming to provide a concise review of the state of Chinese historiography in the 20th century. The book is divided into three parts: the Main Text, the Supplementary Text, and the Chronology. The Main Text introduces the research status of various branches of historiography through thematic chapters, preceded by a comprehensive overview of the development of historiography in the 20th century. The Supplementary Text selects and excerpts representative papers or works that have had significant influence during the century. The Chronology records major events in 20th-century Chinese historiography in chronological order, including the establishment of research and teaching institutions, the founding of academic associations and journals, the publication of representative works, the activities of renowned historians, and the convening of important academic conferences. We hope that the three parts complement each other, providing a clearer understanding of the development process of 20th-century Chinese historiography.
