중국 국가건설 100년의 역정과 역사학(Ⅰ) - 천하 패러다임의 해체와 근대 역사학 -

Abstract

Chinese Modern historiography began with the formation and establishment of the national state paradigm at the end of the 19th century. The New Historiography advocated by Liang Qi Chao and the Quintessence group(Liu Shi Pei; Zhang Bing Lin) was the beginning of modern Chinese historiography. Chinese traditional historiography aims to defend morality and ethics. However, the purpose of the New Historiography was to make historiography contribute to the national construction and create ideas for the establishment of national identity. Liang Qi Chao and the New Historiography of the National School emphasized China’s national identity, which would be the premise of national history. The New Historiography took creating national history as its mission, and it was natural to create and emphasize the essence of national identity. The national state model was established in the second stage of national construction. The decisive moment was the May 4th Movement. From then on, the value of the West was widely recognized, and the thinking and the practice were based on concepts and terms produced in the West. System, methodology and view of the modern science have become the model that needs to be pursued, and historical research is no exception. Gu Jie Gang or Fu Si Nian highly promoted history as a science. In this context, Liu Yi Zheng, considered as champion of cultural conservatism, emphasized scientific and empirical nature of the historical research.
