Source Materials from Recent Publications from the People’s Republic of China

- 101 SOURCE MATERIALS FROM RECENT PUBLICATIONS FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA David Paure Chinese University of Hong Kong Not so long ago, some of us in Hong Kong used to "buy just about every title published in the People's Republic of China that was related to historical research and available in local bookshops. Now we have to be more selective because so many new titles are appearing. From the point of view of research on the Ch'ing dynasty, it is heartening that this period seems to be one of the foci of current publications. Research on the Republican period, another focal point in China's research program, will also bring into print a considerable amount of material on the late Ch'ing. Already in the bookshops are some volumes that will be very useful: Ch'i Ssu—ho l l f , Lin Shu-hui M m T’ien Ju-k'ang $ , Chin Chung-ytlan \ 1 4 . , Ti-erh tz'u ya-p'ien chan-cheng ^ (Shanghai: Shanghai jen-min, 1978), six volumes.
