Features: The study of the history of the Republic of China, which began in the 1970s, has yielded fruitful results. In Nanjing, the site where Sun Yat-sen was sworn in as the provisional president of the Republic of China and the former capital of the Republic of China, a new school of thought in Republican history research has quietly emerged, represented by scholars such as Professor Zhang Xianwen—the "Nanjing School." This collection of essays embodies this concept, featuring 33 papers by scholars from the "Nanjing School," centered around the Research Center for Republican History at Nanjing University. The essays analyze and research the economic policies and development, social changes and transformations, the evolution of ideological concepts, and various cultural phenomena during the Republican era. The topics are novel, the perspectives are broad, the evidence is substantial, and the structure is rigorous, reflecting the new developments in the field of Republican history research.
