Features: A New Compendium of Chinese History was compiled according to the Textbook Selection Plan for History Majors in Higher Education (1985-1990) formulated by the State Education Commission. This book is primarily aimed at first and second-year students of history majors in universities, serving mainly as a textbook for the two-year courses on Chinese history (including Ancient Chinese History, Modern Chinese History, and Contemporary Chinese History) for history majors. It also has certain applicability to other liberal arts majors. The study of history is a science that examines various historical phenomena in human society and explores their causes and development patterns. The materialist conception of history, a scientific theory of studying history from the perspective of Marxism, is the only correct theoretical framework for interpreting the causality of historical figures and events, as well as for demonstrating the objective laws of human historical development. Therefore, the materialist conception of history is the sole correct theory for historical research. This book adheres to the materialist conception of history as its guiding principle.
