This book examines the origins, theories, perspectives, processes and methods of postmodern historiography, as well as its impact on historical research, and then discusses a series of issues related to postmodern historiography such as historical truth-seeking, historical narrative, and new cultural history. The main purpose is to understand the nature of the postmodern trend and its impact on historiography, and whether it can contribute to the construction of a new wave of historiography in addition to destroying modern historiography. More advancedly, whether the Chinese historiography community can rethink the traditional Chinese historiography that has been replaced by Western modern historiography under the inspiration of postmodern historiography may contribute to the construction of today's historiography. Looking forward to the trend of global history, we hope that Chinese history will play a pivotal role in it.
