Since the 1980s，bet with bet365 nihilism appears and spreads as a pan-political historiographic thought。bet with bet365 nihilists under the banner of "restoring the truth"，Overthrowing all in academia、The development path of China’s modern history that has been recognized and mainstream in politics and society、The bet with bet365 perspectives of the party’s revolutionary leaders and even Chinese traditional culture，Replace it with your own opinion，Thus winning the “right to explain” this period of history。This fierce opposition to mainstream bet with bet365 views、The historiographic thought of “ruining everything and starting over”，It is extremely rare in the folk bet with bet365 activities in China。There are increasing signs，At the level of concepts and methods，bet with bet365 nihilism is an “importation” from the Western postmodern bet with bet365 trend。

Postmodernism is first of all anti-rational，Because "rationality" derives its oppressive and totalitarian nature in the process of establishment。Since the Enlightenment in the 18th century，The "rationality" accumulated in Western civilization disappeared in the two world wars，Because world war is the pinnacle of "irrationality"。From this，Postmodernists oppose considering reason as the driving force of bet with bet365 progress，Even believe that history is not a continuous and progressive process at all。Foucault’s advocacy of bet with bet365 “discontinuity” epitomizes the postmodernists’ “anti-rational” cultural representation of human history—opposition to the continuity and progress of history。After this idea spread to the field of history，Evolved into questioning the scientific nature of history。1973，American bet with bet365 philosopher Hayden White publishes "Metahistoriography: bet with bet365 Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe" (hereinafter referred to as "Metahistoriography")，Marks the birth of postmodernist bet with bet365 theory。20 years later，White said in the interview，"Yuan Historiography" is to deconstruct a myth，The so-called bet with bet365 science。From Rank、Tocqueville to Marx、Croce，The artistry in bet with bet365 writing is so obvious，So much so that European history in the 19th century was simply poetry rather than science。

Looking back at China’s bet with bet365 nihilism trend，The fierce anti-traditional stance displayed by bet with bet365 nihilists，It is nothing more than a post-modernist anti-rational representation - opposing the continuity and progress of history、Opposition to the scientific nature of history。bet with bet365 nihilists doubt the scientific nature of official history writing，Mainly expressed as doubting and opposing Marxist bet with bet365 materialism, the most important scientific truth and rational tool。They believe that bet with bet365 materialism is an outdated mechanical bet with bet365 determinism (for example, the economic base determines the superstructure)，Or think of it as a "logical truth beyond time and space" that exists independently of all specific things。From this perspective，The opposition and betrayal of bet with bet365 nihilism to bet with bet365 materialism，It inevitably slipped into the abyss of bet with bet365 idealism。

According to traditional Western history，The “narrative” of any bet with bet365 event should include “environment、Scene、Cause、Result" and other structures，bet with bet365 events connected by plots constitute the bet with bet365 process。Therefore，bet with bet365 narrative must have structure and sequence。The Annales School once favored structuralism and carried it forward。Lyotard, a representative of postmodernism, said，Because we don’t believe in “meta-narrative”，So we become “postmodern”。Postmodernist historiography doubts the authenticity and objectivity of all existing texts and bet with bet365 materials，Believe that the mixture of texts and bet with bet365 materials mixed with the author’s subjective judgment results in readers never being able to understand the bet with bet365 truth。In a sense，The ultimate goal of postmodernist historiography is to deconstruct and subvert the concept of objectivity of traditional historiography。From this，It turns to a deconstructive philosophy of history，It targets the structuralist bet with bet365 philosophy adhered to by traditional historiography。

Postmodernists attack the subjectivity of bet with bet365 structures or "meta-narratives" mainly from two levels: the ideological attributes of bet with bet365 structures、The fictional attribute of bet with bet365 discourse。Postmodernist historiography thinks，The division of bet with bet365 development stages by "meta-narrative" is not a purely natural cognitive phenomenon。Foucault viewed history as an “endlessly repeated drama of domination”，And to this end, a new bet with bet365 philosophy-"genealogy" was invented to destroy the linear structure of history。White said in "Metahistoriography"，To analyze the three "strategies" in bet with bet365 discourse from Hegel to Marx (formal argumentation explanation、Plot explanation and ideological implication explanation) for "irony"，And accordingly regard bet with bet365 writing as pure literary fiction and artistic imagination activities，Pushing the deconstruction of traditional history to its peak。

Looking back at China’s bet with bet365 nihilism trend，The kind of "doubt everything、The attitude of treating official history writing as “denying everything”，Not only inherits the postmodernists’ doubts about the objectivity of “meta-narrative”，And it’s more like a low-level presentation of deconstruction。This is mainly reflected in the selectivity of void objects，And the difficulty of bet with bet365 nihilism reaching the theoretical heights of postmodernist historiography。

On the one hand，When bet with bet365 nihilists choose what to write about，Probably adheres to the principle that everything is conducive to the construction of official ideology，Especially those bet with bet365 events that are themselves part of the official ideology、Characters and ideas become nothingness，There is little interest in bet with bet365 issues unrelated to this。Therefore，bet with bet365 nihilists imitate postmodernist attacks on the ideological properties of “metanarratives”，But it shows the goal orientation of “denying for the sake of denying”。On the other hand，bet with bet365 nihilists cannot develop a "genealogical" methodology to examine "real history" like Foucault，Nor can we “irony” the official bet with bet365 discourse as a whole like White。bet with bet365 nihilism shows that each is fighting independently、Fragmented、Characteristics of fragmentation，So it can only stay in the low stage of deconstruction。

bet with bet365 nihilists subjectively or objectively、consciously or unconsciously inherited and imitated the core ideas and writing style of postmodernist historiography，Although this inheritance and imitation may seem superficial and clumsy。But，There is still a key question that needs to be resolved: Do bet with bet365 nihilism and postmodernist historiography pursue the same values？

On the basis of emphasizing bet with bet365 subjectivity，After the 1970s，Postmodernist historiography abandons the traditional positivist research paradigm，Turn to the research and analysis of bet with bet365 language。This turn is generally called the "linguistic turn"。Due to the uncertainty in the meaning of bet with bet365 texts that carry language，Postmodernist historians pursue the relative value of bet with bet365 text interpretation—revealing the operation and structure of human society in history by deconstructing texts。The result of this value orientation is，Fragmentation of bet with bet365 research。Postmodernist historiography no longer pursues the absoluteness and certainty of history，Instead, it provides readers with alternative bet with bet365 explanations。Look at it this way，Postmodernist historiography is still essentially an academic trend。At the same time，What it brings readers is a new way of treating and thinking about history。

Looking back at the trend of bet with bet365 nihilism，Mostly fragmented remarks、The articles are all for the so-called "restoration of bet with bet365 truth"。The advanced form of bet with bet365 nihilism ("Farewell to the Revolution" theory、The theory of "aggression is meritorious"、On "The Beautiful Republic of China", etc.)，It is the "new revelation" claimed by nihilists based on summarizing the lessons of bet with bet365 failures。What we must be vigilant about，bet with bet365 nihilism as a wrong social trend，Not only in the academic field，And in various literature、Frequent appearances in film, television and art works，Produced to dispel the mainstream ideology、The serious harm of weakening people’s political identity。

In summary，The key difference between bet with bet365 nihilism and postmodernist historiography is，It serves a specific political goal，Thus deviating from the normal track of bet with bet365 research，Becoming an aberrant existence in the context of postmodernism。Whether it has political purpose and attributes，Is the fundamental criterion for clarifying bet with bet365 nihilism and postmodernist historiography。
