The history discipline of Peking University started at 1899, which is the earliest national history institution of higher learning in modern China. After more than 100 years of ups and downs, the glorious tradition of democracy and science has been passed down from generation to generation, and the fine style of study of rigor and realism has lasted forever. 1903 offered the history of China and the history of the world. In the early years of the Republic of China, curriculum systems such as historical geography, archaeology, historical theories and methods, and specialized history were added. In the New Culture Movement, under the auspices of Chen Duxiu, the discipline system of Peking University's historiography was reformed, which was in line with international standards and gained the first chance in the trend.
