AN HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CHINESE HISTORIOGRAPHY ...

This book systematically traces the development of Chinese historiography from the 2nd century
B.C. to the 19th century A.D. Refusing to fit the Chinese historical narration into the modern
Western discourse  the author highlights the significant questions that concern traditional
historians  their philosophical foundations  their development over three thousand years and
their influence on the intelligentsia.China is a country defined in terms of its history and
its historians have worked hard to record the past. However  this book approaches Chinese
history from the very beginning not only as a way of recording  but also as a way of dealing
with the past in order to orient the people of the present in the temporal dimension of their
lives.This book was listed as the key textbook of the Eleventh Five-year Plan for college
students in China.
