Features: The study of the history of the Republic of China, which originated in the 1970s, has yielded abundant results. In Nanjing, the former site where Sun Yat-sen took office as the provisional president of the Republic of China and the former capital of the Republic of China, a new school of thought in the study of the Republic of China era, represented by Professor Zhang Xianwen and others, has quietly emerged—the "Nanjing School." This collection of essays embodies this concept, featuring 33 papers by scholars of the "Nanjing School," centered around the Research Center for the Republic of China Era 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 Republic of China period. 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 Republic of China history research.
