The Academic History of China in Recent 300 Years is one of the masterpieces of Liang Qichao, a famous scholar. It turns out that Liang Qichao taught the course of China's academic history for nearly 300 years in Tsinghua University from the autumn of 1923 to the spring and summer of 1924. After this book is written, it is divided into sixteen lectures. There is an academic history of China in the past 300 years in the General Reading Room of Ancient Books of the National Library of China. The existing contents of lecture 1 to lecture 12 (the twelfth lecture was not finished) should be the original text of Liang Qichao's lecture in Tsinghua University. Some chapters of this book were published in newspapers and periodicals before the publication of the singles.

This book describes the academic evolution of China since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with interwoven latitude and longitude and complicated levels. It consists of three parts: the history of social thought, the history of schools and the history of disciplines. The book is characterized by inviting Professor Xia Xiaohong, a famous scholar in Peking University, to revise an excellent version according to many editions, and writing a chronology and commentary for it, which is of great academic value.
