History, as a fundamental discipline in the field of sociology, has a close relationship with other disciplines, especially philosophy, ethnology, political science, economics, law, sociology, and education are particularly close. Some fields almost cover each other, and there is also a close relationship with natural disciplines, history to these disciplines to provide information and knowledge, and the development of these disciplines to promote each other.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Education, history mainly has eight secondary disciplines specializing in the theory and history of history, archaeology and museology, historical geography, historical documentation, specialized history, ancient Chinese history, modern Chinese history and world history. Each of its specialties requires a deep academic background and a long period of accumulation of professional knowledge. Most of the graduates of this specialty are in colleges and universities, scientific research departments, state organs, press and publication and other cultural institutions or cultural relics and archaeological research, museums and other units.
