The 20th century was a period of transformation in Chinese society, marked by significant changes, rapid development, and a complex, winding process.

Over these hundred years, China transformed from a poor, backward, closed, semi-colonial, and semi-feudal nation into an independent, sovereign, and emerging strong developing country. With the immense societal changes, people's lifestyles and ideological perspectives also underwent significant transformations. As an important aspect of the cultural form, the academic field also experienced a process of transformation and development.
