This book brings together the author's partial discussions on historiography theory and historiography history, with a total of 31 articles divided into four chapters. On the basis of grasping the overall context of historiography, each article can put forward original opinions, form a family's opinion, have solid and thorough research, and be rich in theoretical thinking. The first chapter, "Analysis of Historical Theory," examines the origin of Chinese historiography in depth, pointing out that Chinese historiography was officially born in 841 BC, which coincides with the emergence of the continuous chronology of ancient China, and divides the academic system of traditional Chinese historiography into two major systems: official and private. The second chapter, "Analysis of Historians' Historical Books", examines the writing dates of "Shiben" and "Yue Jueshu", and conducts a case study of the historical achievements of Zhang Xuecheng, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, and modern Liu Tan. Chapter 3, "Historical Special Topics", analyzes the main reasons for the extraordinary prosperity of ancient Chinese historiography, and sorts out some important issues in the history of history, such as the historical concepts and development of the pre-Qin, Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern Dynasties periods, the Ming Dynasty, and the post-Jin regime, the operation of official historiography and mechanisms, the trend of doubting the past, Wang Guowei's "double evidence method", social history debates, etc. Chapter 4 "Comparison of Chinese and Foreign Historiography" enlarges the perspective to East Asia and the world. Through the comparison of Chinese, Western and Chinese and Japanese historiography, it is believed that the inherent contradiction in history is the contradiction between recording history and seeking truth and applying history. Ancient Chinese and ancient Greek and Roman historiography have their own characteristics. After traditional Chinese historiography was transmitted to Japan, it was accepted and transformed by it, and participated in Japan's modern social and ideological changes.
