In the late Qing and the Republic of China，the re-interpretation and re-construction of the origin and development of Chinese academics became important for modern scholars in the communication between East and West.Some Sichuan scholars，like Meng Wentong and Liu Xianxin，tried to seek a modern way out of the traditional academics through the reconstruction of Eastern Zhejiang Historiography.Examining the genealogy of the 'Wuzhou Historiography of Song and Yaojiang Li Studies' with a focus on Zhang Xuecheng，Liu Xianxin stressed the academic characteristics of Eastern Zhejiang Historiography in his attempt to rebuild Chinese culture.Highlighting the differences between the Eastern Zhejiang historiographies of the Southern Song and Qing dynasties，Meng Wentong constructed the former as a model of 'Interaction between Confucianism and Historiography' based on Neo-Confucianism of the Qin and Han dynasties，and elaborated on the historic and realistic significance of Confucianism in Chinese culture.The inquiry into the scholars' intentions and aims may shed light on the development of traditional academics and be used as a reference in the construction of modern academics in China.
