Yan Bozan's Outline of China History, Hou Wailu's On the Ancient Social History of China, such as Xiang Da's Chang 'an and Western Civilization in Tang Dynasty, Hu Sheng's Imperialism and China Politics, Zhou Gucheng's General History of the World, Guo Moruo's Slavery Age, Fan Wenlan's A Brief History of China, and Hou Wailu's first, second and third revisions.

Works on the history of western historiography mainly include: A Summary of the History of Western Historiography by Guo (Shanghai People's Publishing House, version 19 83), A History of Modern European Historiography by Sun Bingying (Hunan People's Publishing House, version 1984) and History in People's Mind-A Review of Contemporary Western Historiography Theory (Sichuan/kloc). 1988 1989 edition), History, Culture-Western History from the Cultural Perspective, edited by Zhang Guangzhi and Zhang Guangyong (Zhejiang People's Publishing House, 1990 edition), and Origin and Present Situation of Western History, edited by Xú Zhēng (Oriental Publishing House,19 1992 edition), Outline of Foreign Historiography edited by Xia Zuen (Lujiang Press, 1993 edition), History of Western Historiography edited by Yu Yang (Jiangxi People's Publishing House, 1993 edition) and History of Foreign Historiography edited by Wang Jian 'e (Lanzhou University Press

What is listed here, first, as far as I can see, there may be omissions; Second, it does not include personal essays, such as Zhang Zhilian and He Zhaowu's "On Criticism of Historical Reason" (Note: Hunan Education Press, 1994). ), Chen Qineng, Historical Theory and Historical Research (Note: Unity Press, 1993). ) and other works on the study of the history of western historiography.

It's just that more than a dozen works on the history of western historiography listed above, whether alone or co-authored, are the fruits of scholars' efforts for many years, each with its own characteristics and emphasis, which is difficult to distinguish. Therefore, they cannot be commented on. However, one thing is certain. From Guo's Summary of the History of Western Historiography to Contemporary Western Historiography Theory edited by He Zhaowu and Chen Qi, its overall academic level is progressive, and it is not unreasonable to say that it keeps pace with the times. It is particularly worth mentioning that The Theory of Contemporary Western Historiography, written by thirteen experts for eight years (two editors spent one year to complete the manuscript), is a high-level academic treatise, which reflects the research level of contemporary China scholars in the field of western historiography in the past twenty years and is also a symbol of the original research of the history of western historiography.
