Abstract:

In the middle of 1980s,Li Zehou proposed that modern and contemporary Chinese history was“a dual variation of salvation and enlightenment”.Later,Chinese historian circle reflected the views of revolution history since modern China,and continued the enlightenment with the New Culture Movement (around the time of the May 4th Movement in 1919).With conservatism becoming popular in the early 1990s,the direction of Chinese modernization turned from “destroying the old and establishing the new” to “creative transformation of the tradition”.After that,“reflection on modernity” devoted itself to looking for the identity of China under the background of globalization.Moreover,it made the value of history more reasonable.After the development process of successive negation,the interpretation model of modern Chinese history came from the revolutionary narrative to the modernization narrative.At last,it turned into the modernity narrative.The re-context of revolutionary narrative and the formation of modernity narrative promoted the change of subject and focus of intellectual history directly.

Key words: modern intellectual history, interpretation model, view of revolution history, modernization Narrative, modernity narrative
