Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

It is worth considering why the science of history in China pursues truth with no idea of objectivity while the western science of history is born with the sense of objectivity.Truth with no objectivity is one-sided truth; however,one-sided truth is more harmful since it is considered as truth. The function of history books is to recode events and hence pass down the information so the historians are supposed to write historical events objectively. Just is objective,but with subjective judgment. Truth with no objectivity is shaky so the science of history requires both truth and objectivity.
