China's historical works can be divided into ancient and modern historical works and modern and contemporary historical works.

Ancient and modern historical works are divided into pre-Qin history and pre-Qin history. There are three kinds of pre-Qin history: the history compiled by folk scholars, the history of dignitaries compiled by government cultural departments (such as the Spring and Autumn Annals of Various Countries), and the history of Confucian moral evaluation of maintaining patriarchal society (mainly the Spring and Autumn Annals of Confucius and its three biographies). The first two died in the war and book burning in Qin dynasty, but most of them were unearthed by relay and handed down to future generations; In order to spread Confucianism, the latter chose injustice, forgery and tampering in Binhai instead of scientific and primitive history. The history after the Qin dynasty, the Qin dynasty and the early Han dynasty have no history. After putting forward the hundred schools of Confucianism, all of them are controlled by Confucianism, and most of them are attached to Confucianism, either incomplete or not completely true. Folk scholars have some real history, but they are mixed with myths and legends. Therefore, there is basically no scientific and comprehensive general history of China's ancient and modern history.

As the Ming and Qing dynasties closed their doors to the outside world and returned to Confucianism in an all-round way, the eastern science and technology culture stagnated and was overtaken, invaded and slaughtered by the West. China was arbitrarily humiliated by the West and lost a large territory. In order to save China from peril, China historians had to study the west comprehensively, which led to the study and writing of China's history with the western view of history. As a result, modern historians in China lack original academic historical views, the scientific spirit of Taitung history with its own origin and characteristics, and especially the academic thought and quality of independently studying the original Shenhua history of Taitung. As a result, the works of China's modern historians are basically the products of the western historical view, mechanically and rigidly copying the western historical view of experience, giving up the historical characteristics that the characteristics of human development and its political thoughts are determined by the eastern geography and geology under other climatic and ecological conditions, and their historical works are all eastern copies of the western rigid mechanical historical view. Therefore, it is impossible for modern historians in China to study and write a comprehensive, systematic, scientific and true general history that expresses the original history of Shenhua in Taidong. However, several Marxist historians in the Republic of China existed objectively, just because they did not study general history for a short time.
