Abstract: As “the root of all learnings”, historical science has always been a dominant one in Chinese academic learning. Inpacted by the occidental academic trend and the introduction of new ways of scholarly research in late Qing Dynasty, this science saw its new academic trend in the field of classical historical science. Although traditional textual research of the Qianlong and Jiaqing times had its non-mainstream inheritance and development by scholars, the criticism was direct and severe. The advocacy of folk history and new historical science, the organization of the accociation of historical science, the establishment of new academic magazines, and the advocacy of theory and method of historical science, all this became the late Qing Dynasty new general tendency and new trend of thought; such laid the foundation for the development of the historical science in the time of the Republic of China.

Key words: late Qing Dynasty historical science, academic shift, general tendency of historical science
