Historiography is the meaning of historiography.

The original saying is that "the study of modern history is only the study of historical materials", which was put forward by Fu Sinian in "The Main Purpose of the Institute of Historical Linguistics" published in 1928.

The original text is: "History and linguistics have only recently developed in Europe. History is not about writing history: writing history has more or less ancient and modern meanings, and you can be an essayist every time you adopt the means of ethicist.

Modern history is just a historical science, and all the historical materials that can be encountered are sorted out by using all the tools provided by natural science. Therefore, the scope of modern historical science is from geology to newsprint, and Darwinism outside history is a great achievement of historical methods. "

Extended data

The broad sense of "history" is the unity of "history has two meanings" produced by the simultaneous training of "history". Including: the objective existence and development process of human society completely independent of human consciousness in the past.

Historians describe and explore this objective existence, process and its laws, spiritual production practice and products created by it. The narrow sense of historiography refers to the latter, which is the unity of spiritual production and practice, and what it creates belongs to ideology.

The discipline that studies the source, value and utilization of historical materials is an auxiliary discipline of history. The main task of Marxist historiography is to collect, sort out, revise and compile historical materials under the guidance of historical materialism theory, distinguish historical materials with different values, distinguish correct records from wrong records, and determine the absolute and relative ages of historical materials.

Although it focuses on the collation and identification of data, it has a distinct class nature like other historical disciplines. It is closely related to archaeology, philology and archival science.
