On WANG Yuzhang's Research of the History of Chinese Historiography
WANG Yuzhang,the author of An Introduction to the History of Chinese Historiography,is an outstanding but long neglected researcher in the history of Chinese historiography in modern China.As one of the three earliest monographs on the history of Chinese historiography published in China in the 1940s,An Introduction to the History of Chinese Historiography inherits and develops LIANG Qichao's historical thinking,roughly outlines the basic norms of Chinese historical works,and involves historical philosophy,historiography,historians' historical activi-ties,historical commentary,and historical operation mechanisms.The historical philosophy section particularly highlights WANG Yuzhang's special views,reflecting WANG Yuzhang's independent exploration and practice in the construction of the discipline of historical studies,which is of great academic value in promoting the deepening of historical research.
