Features: The 20th century is coming to an end, and Chinese historiography has undergone a century of transformation and innovation. It has been a prosperous and fruitful period, with remarkable achievements and a generation of distinguished scholars, worthy of study and summary. The series "Major Works of Chinese Historiography in the 20th Century" published by our press aims to systematically showcase the historiographical achievements of this century by presenting the works of representative historians to readers. This book includes two works by Lü Zhenyu, "Research on Prehistoric Chinese Society" and "Chinese Society in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties," both published in the 1930s and regarded as representative works on the ancient Chinese pre-Qin society and history. The former analyzes and critiques the prevailing historical views such as the "Commercial Capital Theory" and the "Aisan Mode of Production Theory" from the perspective of historiographical theory, while systematically exploring the process and laws of Chinese social development based on Marxist theories of social formations. The latter is a monograph on the nature of Shang and Zhou society. The main content of the book includes: first, analyzing and critiquing the prevailing historical views such as the "Commercial Capital Theory" and the "Aisan Mode of Production Theory" from the perspective of historiographical theory; second, systematically exploring the process and laws of Chinese social development based on Marxist theories of social formations, combined with the actual history of China. The book has proposed many pioneering and important viewpoints in the study of ancient Chinese history.
