Change and Permanence: a Study on the Evolution of Gu Jiegang's Concepts on Ancient History (1923-1949)
by Li Zhengjun
About This Novel
This book mainly discusses whether Gu Jiegang's concept of ancient history has changed at various stages of his academic development since he proposed the theory of "Chinese ancient history layered upon layers" in 1923. If so, what has changed and what has remained unchanged. Based on this, this book first clarifies Gu Jiegang's concept of ancient history when he proposed the theory of "layer accumulation", and then follows his academic development process to examine the motivations and purposes of his various explorations in the fields of folklore, historical geography, borderland and ethnology, as well as the academic connection between these explorations and his examination of ancient history. On this basis, it is necessary to examine the "changes" and "unchanges" in the characteristics of Gu Jiegang's ancient history research from 1923 to 1949, and whether there are fundamental changes in his concept of ancient history.
