Concerning the study of history, particular attention has been paid to the discussion on “new History of the Qing Dynasty”, as well as the dispute on the special issue of James Watson in the America-based Modern China, which are directly related to the stress on the diversification and the inquiries into the mechanism of unification in the China studies at home and aboard. The immigrant stories could be a breakthrough point for the discussion on the regional identity. They were important representation of the development of regional identity, namely, the formation of Ming-Qing states from the 16th to 18th centuries. However, both the discussion on identity and the analysis of the formation of Ming-Qing states should be put in a concrete historical context and a spatio-temporal process.

In his unique and pioneering theory of the differences and similarities between northern and southern China, he compared China with Europe and considered that China is the integration of diverse political groups. Even today, his particular analyses of the diversity of China’s geography and space will provide many important clues for us to rethink the historical and culture momentum that has molded “China”.

In the second half of the 19th century, the bureaucrats in the Qing Dynasty called the regions of Shangxi, Gansu and Xinjiang “northwest” in coping with the rebellions of Muslims and the issue of Yili. The word “northwest” hadn’t become a name of an internal region in China until the early 20th century. The expression of “our northwest” in the articles in the journal of The Voice of the Xia (Xia Sheng) tells us that it was based on the formation of China’s consciousness of national territory and maturity of regional identity in each province that the new meaning as a region, in addition to its original meaning as a direction, appeared. After the revocation of the large “northwest” administrative region in 1954, the word “northwest” remains to refer to a geographical region.

In the late Qing Dynasty, localism started to arise, e.g., and the Revolution of 1911 is a revolution of the local against the central government. The early Republic of China witnessed representative democracy and system of administrative authority. After 1916, China, similar to the situation in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, was divided by the force of military governors. Consequently, scholars became unbounded and free and increasing differentiated into the “local gentry” of old fashion and the “roaming scholars”- the new intellectuals who had been baptized by new culture. The failure of the autonomy of jointed provinces implied that the “local gentry” had lost their stage in history. Finally, Kuomintang unified China by uniting the new “roaming scholars”.
