Editing Chinese historiography (section)

===Nationalism===
In China, historical scholarship remains largely [[Chinese nationalism|nationalist]] and modernist or even traditionalist. The legacies of the modernist school (such as [[Lo Hsiang-lin]]) and the traditionalist school (such as [[Chien Mu|Qian Mu (Chien Mu)]]) remain strong in Chinese circles. The more modernist works focus on imperial systems in China and employ the scientific method to analyze epochs of Chinese dynasties from geographical, genealogical, and cultural artifacts. For example, using [[radiocarbon dating]] and geographical records to correlate climates with cycles of calm and calamity in Chinese history. The traditionalist school of scholarship resorts to official imperial records and colloquial historical works, and analyzes the rise and fall of dynasties using Confucian philosophy, albeit modified by an institutional administration perspective.<ref>

After 1911, writers, historians and scholars in China and abroad generally deprecated the late imperial system and its failures. However, in the 21st century, a highly favorable revisionism has emerged in the [[popular culture]], in both the [[Mass media|media]] and [[social media]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Yu |first1=Haiyang |title=Glorious Memories of Imperial China and the Rise of Chinese Populist Nationalism |journal=Journal of Contemporary China |date=2 November 2014 |volume=23 |issue=90 |pages=1174–1187 |doi=10.1080/10670564.2014.898907 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Zhang Weiwei|title=China Horizon, The: Glory And Dream Of A Civilizational State|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D1W2DAAAQBAJ&pg=PA80|year=2016|publisher=World Scientific|page=80|isbn=9781938134753}}</ref> 
Florian Schneider argues that nationalism in China in the early twenty-first century is largely a product of the digital revolution and that a large fraction of the population participates as readers and commentators who relate ideas to their friends over the internet.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Schneider |first=Florian |date=May 2018 |title=Mediated Massacre: Digital Nationalism and History Discourse on China's Web |journal=[[The Journal of Asian Studies]] |language=en |volume=77 |issue=2 |pages=429–452 |doi=10.1017/S0021911817001346 |hdl=1887/76102 |issn=0021-9118|hdl-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Schneider |first=Florian |title=China's Digital Nationalism |date=2018-09-20 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |isbn=978-0-19-087679-1 |volume=1 |language=en |doi=10.1093/oso/9780190876791.001.0001}}</ref>
