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: Main Body, Supplementary Body, and Chronology. The Main Body introduces the research status of various branches of historiography through thematic chapters, preceded by a comprehensive overview of the development of historiography in the century. The Supplementary Body selects and excerpts representative papers or works that have had significant influence during the century. The Chronology records major events in 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 Chinese historiography in the 20th century.
