| Summary/Abstract |
This article offers a brief outline of the history of "Chinese classical textual studies" (Zhongguo gudian wenxianxue), analyzes its content and structure, as well as its place and perspectives in modern China. Chinese classical textual studies emerged as a distinct modern academic discipline based on an ancient domestic tradition and under the influence of Western textual criticism of the 19th century. Since the 1920s, over the last hundred years, it has experienced several ups and downs but steadily continues to maintain continuity with the vast philological knowledge of imperial China while also assimilating appropriate new approaches from Western humanities. The most developed areas of wenxianxue are the editing and publication of ancient texts, theoretical research on the foundations of textual studies, the creation and further exploration of subdisciplines, the analysis of research methods and interdisciplinary perspectives, the study of the history of wenxianxue, as well as various specialized problems. Overall, Chinese classical textual studies

| Summary/Abstract |
The 19th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress, held in October 2017, enshrined not just Xi Jinping's grip on power. It also re-coated its ideology with a medley of Socialist and traditionalist buzz words that had been marginalized in the 1980s. During the height of the reform era, these increasingly made way for ideas borrowed from market economies. Predictably enough, the ideological ferment surrounding the 19th Party Congress has since also played out in the realm of education. This article examines in detail the most current history textbooks used in PRC classrooms to construe China's pre-Imperial and Imperial past. To that end, included in my exploration will not just be changing PRC attitudes to the Chinese past, but also PRC instruction of world history from antiquity to the early modern era. In passing, I will also compare the school material with the latest authoritative Western scholarly studies of the same topics by way of eliciting how PRC official historical narratives of events preceding the 20th century diverge from Western ones.
