ABSTRACT
The first batch of research achievements in modern Chinese military history are about the war history and army history of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. The initial achievements made by the research on the military history of the late Qing Dynasty was the construction of historical materials. The Modern Military History of China edited by Zhang Yutian, Chen Chongqiao and others is the first tentative work on the military history of China, covering all aspects of military history from 1840 to 1919. The history of the military system is supposed to be a key topic of military history research, but has turned out to be a regrettable weak point in the research of modern Chinese military history. Owing to the particularity of modern Chinese history, military figures are often political figures. There have published many biographies of relevant figures, but few of them highlighted the military features of the personages.
