Abstract

As one of the traditional academic research methods in my country, textual research has a very important position and significance in truth-seeking and fact-seeking historical research. Although textual research is not equal to historical research, and historical research is not all about textual research, textual research is often historical research. It is an indispensable and important link in historical research and is the basis of historical research.

In addition, the article It also conducted a relatively systematic and in-depth discussion and discussion on the principles and methods of textual research, as well as the relationship between textual research and theory.
