The Historical Dictionary of Modern China (1800-1949) by James Z. Gao, published in 2009, offers an in-depth exploration of China’s political, social, economic, and cultural evolution during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This dictionary covers key historical events such as the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Republican era, and the rise of Chinese nationalism leading to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

It also delves into topics like educational institutions, economic developments, and cultural phenomena, providing a wide-ranging overview of China’s transformation during this period. The volume features a detailed chronology, an extensive bibliography, and appendices that support further research on China’s modernization efforts, particularly during the late Qing and Republican periods.
