Therefore, it is essential to focus on understanding and exploring the new developments in historiography. This journal is dedicated to this very focus, while also encompassing other related disciplines and addressing new changes and cutting-edge issues. It aims to keep abreast of the new developments in historiography abroad, particularly in theoretical and methodological advancements, while also integrating the realities of Chinese historiography to strengthen dialogue between Chinese and international historiography.
