Abstract
Wang Xuedian’s Chronicle of 20th Century Chinese Historiography is a chronological masterpiece on 20th-century Chinese historiography in recent years. It organizes affairs year by year, deals with historical figures in the order of events, and discusses scholarship through historical figures, reflecting the profiles of 20th-century Chinese historiography in both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. It unfolds not only the multifaceted historiographical landscape of modern China, but also the socio-ideological context underlying its remarkable changes. Adopting an annalistic format for its cardinal narrative, the Chronicle also consorts with a variety of other historiographical genres and is of great significance to philology, academic history, and intellectual history.
