Abstract:

It is requisite to have an overall integration of microcosmic achievements accumulated through twenty-year studies on China's periodic history and particular history so as to renew and develop a general sense of the history of China.Having depended on such a "general history", the vision of the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties is likely to become wider and far-reaching, thus avoiding relapses of no value as to higher or lower evaluations of such a periodic history.However, there are several problems concerning the "anti-Eurocentric"view of China, the change of historical perspectives as to recognition of t he Ming-Qing history, and the development of the Ming-Qing economy or not.

Key words: the period of the Ming and Qing dynasties, history, recognition
