Abstract

The aim of this article is to point out different ways of writing History in the field of Chinese History studies, focusing on the changes that writing History has undergone over the long term, providing references for a better understanding that Hui (2005; 2023) has called ‘trans-systemic’ chinese historical rationality. In comparative terms, as an intermediate between the modern and contemporary epochs, this text promotes two sources by its teleological approaches, both are bibliographical surveys about Chinese intellectual History from the late Qing period to the beginning of the Republic of China. These two sources are the published texts of Liang Qichao’s New Historiography (1902) and the printed publication Xin Qingnian (1915-1926 [New Youth]), a fundamental magazine for understanding the dissemination of intellectual trends and modernist ideas during the early 20th century.
