"Regional History Research" is an academic journal jointly founded by a group of scholars with common academic interests from nine universities including Sun Yat-sen University. Since Skenya broke the paradigm of dynastic and national historical narratives and proposed the theory of explaining China's historical structure from a regional context, the study of regional history has become one of the important research directions for scholars trying to deepen their understanding of national history and even global history. The core question is how people's interactions in history form "areas" that are meaningful from a certain perspective. This journal hopes to provide researchers with a new platform to showcase the current trends, thinking and latest achievements in regional history research.

This book mainly discusses the interactions between Mr. Chen Yuan and Mr. Gu Jiegang, their contribution and influence on modern Chinese history, and their training of students. Among the great modern historians, Chen Yuan and Gu Jiegang both valued historical materials, documents, and textual research. However, their research fields were different and their academic methods were very different. Therefore, they were rarely mentioned together, and researchers in the past did not pay much attention to the exchanges and interactions between them. By carefully combing through the "Complete Works of Gu Jiegang" and "The Complete Works of Chen Yuan", we can find that Chen Yuan and Gu Jiegang had close contacts, and their academic research also formed a synergy to a certain extent. They jointly made an indelible contribution to the establishment of a scientific, modern, historical material-led Chinese history discipline, and at the same time cultivated the next generation of mainstays in the field of history.

Why does Chinese historiography attach great importance to narrative? How does Chinese historiography influence Chinese narrative tradition?

It takes four interconnected historical masterpieces - "Hanshu", "Hanji", "Houhanji" and "Houhanshu" - as the object of analysis. It starts from ancient China. The narrative experience of dynasty history, which is the backbone of historiography, explores the prominent style of narrative in ancient Chinese history books that emphasizes "things", focuses on "people", seeks "beauty", and uses "meaning", and reveals the path and mainstream of theoretical reflection on narratives in ancient Chinese history books.

This book attempts to adopt the perspective of "viewing with the times" to analyze important concepts such as "tianxia", "order of the world", "name of the country", "name of the world", "China", "dynasty", "dynasty", "border" and "frontier" that are often used in the study of ancient Chinese history. It is further proposed that in modern times, we have been accustomed to understand and narrate ancient Chinese history from the perspective of "hindsight" and based on Western history and modern concepts. However, because the two are incompatible in terms of historical process and cultural tradition, some historical and practical problems that are difficult to explain have naturally arisen. Based on the above understanding, this book ultimately believes that the narrative of "Chinese history" formed in modern times is not actually "Chinese history" under the traditional Chinese discourse system. In the future, we should take China as the center and think deeply about the narrative method of "Chinese history". This should be the need of China and the world in the current era.

Zhang Zuolin is a legendary figure in modern Chinese history. Although he was born in a green forest and became a warlord, due to his chivalrous nature and courageous spiritual qualities, he gave in every inch of the land and country under his jurisdiction. When the Japanese and Russian powers continued to invade the Northeast, he also had a clear sense of territorial integrity. This can be seen in his battles and negotiations with Japan and Russia, and can also be seen in his war submissions to the central government. The book "Historical Zhang Zuolin's Political Wisdom and Territorial Consciousness" explores these two aspects, intending to go from the historical level to the ideological and spiritual world of Zhang Zuolin, and show readers Zhang Zuolin's protection of this land as the overlord of one side, the Northeast King.

The period from 1949 to 1958 was a period of great changes in the situation between China and the Far East. It was also a period when the Kuomintang authorities, after their resignation, established a so-called alliance with the United States in a different capacity than before. The relations between Taiwan and the United States established during this period continue to this day. At present, the United States is still an important ally of Taiwan and an obstacle to China's solution to the Taiwan issue. To correctly understand and judge the current relationship between Taiwan and the United States, we must examine its history, especially the history of the foundation and formation period of this alliance. In the form of a special topic, this book discusses the differences, development and final resolution of major issues between the Taiwan authorities and the United States from 1949 to 1958. It discusses how the two established an unstable "alliance" relationship, which had an impact on the subsequent situation in the Far East.

In ancient Chinese history, there has been a long-standing political tradition of officials consulting local elders about the pros and cons and listening to public opinion. By the middle of the 16th century, this political tradition had developed into a local public deliberation characterized by the gentry and elders gathering together to hold meetings and submit "combined city submissions" to the government. This book systematically studies the historical evolution, operational procedures, application scope and other issues of local public deliberation among gentlemen and elders from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

The three histories of Liao, Jin and Yuan, which record the ups and downs of the Bei nationality's political power from the 10th to the early 14th century, are a kind of historical writing by later generations of historians. Many important traditional issues that have triggered heated discussions in academic circles have been proven to be often misled by the unexamined "historical view" of the Three Histories. The author of this book uses the concept of "historical source investigation" to analyze the compilation issues of the Three Histories. Through a series of clues running through the "sources of official history", "the compiler's historical understanding", and "national history narrative and the consciousness of the Bei people", he attempts to break the dynastic history system constructed by the Three Histories, and advocates exploring the characteristics and problems of the political culture of the Bei people dynasty in the context of the dissemination of historical materials in the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The research object of "Research on Imperial Power Issues in the Late Tang Dynasty" is the imperial power in the late Tang Dynasty, that is, after the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). It examines the expression and exercise methods of imperial power from the perspective of the initiative of imperial power in government decision-making and the relationship between monarch and ministers. The book is divided into three parts, focusing respectively on the imperial power's control of government information, the imperial power's control of issues and political procedures, and the emperor's construction and strengthening of personal relationships with ministers. The way in which imperial power was exercised in the late Tang Dynasty included both explicit power at the public level, such as direct intervention in the transfer of titles and titles with different surnames, and the emperor's conscious comprehensive use of hidden power such as information control, issue control, and the construction of personality attachment relationships. This overall strengthened the emperor's leading role in government decision-making in the late Tang Dynasty, strengthened the emperor's ability to intervene in decision-making, and reflected the evolution of the way in which imperial power was used in ancient China at the technical level.

Lu Maode (1885-1961), a famous historian during the Republic of China. He has taught at Tsinghua University, Northwest Associated University, Beijing Normal University and other institutions. He has published works such as "History of Zhou and Qin Philosophy" and "Outline of Historical Methods". In addition to his published works, Lu Maode has published a large number of single historical papers in periodicals of the Republic of China, covering multiple fields such as the history of philosophy, intellectual history, cultural history, and historical theory. In addition, Lu Maode participated in the establishment of the History Department of Tsinghua University and the History Department of Northwest Associated University, making great contributions to the development of the history discipline system at that time. Xi academic circles currently pay little attention to the compilation and research of Lu Maode's documents. In view of this, this scientific research team is based in the Qinba Mountains, deeply engaged in the study of the history of Northwest Associated University, and compiled the seal script "Lu Maode's Documents" as a commemoration. This book consists of three parts. The preface, "Lu Maode's Life and Academic Contributions", is written by Chen Xiaochi and Shao Hua, which provides readers with a basic understanding of Lu Maode's life and academic achievements. The main text part mainly collects and organizes Lu Maode's articles, and the third part is "Chronology of Lu Maode's Writings", which allows readers to have a basic understanding of the writing clues of Lu Maode's works.

"International Sinology Research Newsletter" is a comprehensive academic journal edited by the Peking University International Sinologist Training Base.

"History of Early Sinology in Europe - Cultural Exchanges between China and the West and the Rise of Western Sinology" starts with the understanding of China by ancient Greece and Rome, starting with the geographical discovery and the entry of missionaries into China. From the two perspectives of understanding and imagination, and from the perspective of interaction and communication, it sorts out the formation of early European knowledge and images of China and the exchanges and interactions between Chinese and Western cultures in this process.

Relatives are a force that cannot be ignored in ancient Chinese politics, but they are also controversial and have been labeled as "chaotic" and "dictatorship". In fact, under the ruling structure of "family world" and the patriarchal system of "family and state isomorphism" in ancient China, informal power channels based on blood relations and nepotism have always existed. The ability of relatives to become agents of the imperial power and an indispensable part of the political operation of the imperial power was an inevitable product of the logic of the patriarchal system and the centralization of imperial power. From the relationship between relatives and imperial power, we can see the historical trend of the concentration of imperial power and the checks and balances between the power of the prime minister and the power of the clan. More importantly, the group of relatives opens a unique window to re-examine the historical status of women in ancient times. They were representatives of the emperor's mother clan and wife clan, and their power was deeply rooted in the special relationship between the concubines and the emperor. Many times, it is these women who have been hidden behind the scenes who come to the political forefront in specific historical situations, and their families become active on the historical stage. Therefore, from the history of maternal relatives, we can also get a glimpse of the hidden female figures and their political influence behind the scenes. This book innovatively combines the perspectives of political history and sociology to explore the short-term social psychology and behavioral patterns of relatives, and critically reflects on the derogatory writing of relatives in traditional history books, striving to objectively restore their historical role. As a systematic research work that runs through the past dynasties and covers the regimes of the Han and ethnic minorities, this book has important academic value for understanding the nature of imperial power, the changes in power structure, and the political ecology of ancient China.

This book explores the impact of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy on the political behavior, political evolution and changes of the political system in the Han Dynasty. Throughout it is the issue of the verification methods of witchcraft, alchemy and prophecy. Wizards and alchemists gained widespread trust in witchcraft and alchemy by creating an atmosphere of spiritual experience, and prophecies often came true in the political practice of the Han Dynasty. This was the main reason for the popularity of prophecies. The selection and acceptance of historical materials by history writers was also closely related to whether witchcraft, alchemy, and prophecies were proven.

"Literati and Party Struggles in the Song Dynasty" is a literary and historical work written by Shen Songqin, a scholar of literature and history in the Song Dynasty, who studies the party struggles in the Song Dynasty. The whole book is revised and combined from his works "Literati and Party Struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty" and "Literati and Party Struggles in the Southern Song Dynasty", divided into "Northern Song Dynasty Chapter" and "Southern Song Dynasty Chapter". The whole book takes the struggle between scholar-officials factions in the two Song Dynasties as the theme. By comprehensively explaining the history of the struggle between scholar-officials and political power in the Song Dynasty, the book shows the inescapable historical curse of "party unity and opposition to dissenters" in the political system of the Song Dynasty. It also analyzes the practical problems faced by the society of the Song Dynasty and the root causes of the disputes among the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty from a specific perspective, revealing the inherent historical laws of the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty. This book is hailed as the pioneering work in the domestic study of party struggles and scholar-official relations in the Song Dynasty.

Wu Han, a famous expert on Ming history, wrote "The New Official Class in the Ming Dynasty, Social, Political, and Cultural Relationships and Their Life" in 1943. It is an unpublished posthumous work by Mr. Wu Han. The article pointed out that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the original anti-Yuan rebels and supporters transformed into a new ruling class, which Wu Han called "new officials." This group includes the royal family, relatives, eunuchs, imperial examination bureaucrats and even grassroots lijia and grain chiefs, forming a broad privileged class. Wu Han conducted a comprehensive and systematic analysis of this class from the aspects of the era background, privilege structure, imperial examination system, official corruption, harm caused by the gentry, parasitic lifestyle and cultural taste. It provides readers with a new perspective on the Ming Dynasty, and provides understandable clues to the politics, contradictions, struggles, and even culture and life of the Ming Dynasty. In order to supplement our understanding of this topic, this book selects several other related papers by Wu Han to form a more systematic treatise. I believe that readers will have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the ruling elite of the Ming Dynasty by reading this book.

There is no completely corresponding crime for causing suicide in modern criminal law, but in the Qing Dynasty, the accountability of others involved in suicidal behavior has been widely used in national laws and judicial practices. At the legal level, the Qing Dynasty had formed a relatively complete crime system for causing suicide. In judicial practice, the perpetrators in such cases have no "murderous intention" subjectively, nor objectively "killing" actions. The causal relationship is unclear and unspecific, and judicial officials need to use legal reasoning to judge. This book takes legal reasoning as the perspective and goes deep into the actual state of legal operation.
