China\u2019s past and present have been in a continuous dialogue throughout history, one that is heavily influenced by time and language: the temporal orientation and the linguistic apparatus used to express and solidify identity, ideas, and practices. Presenting a host of in-depth case studies, Time and Language: New Sinology and Chinese History argues for and demonstrates the significance of \""New Sinology\"" by restoring the role of language/philology in the research and understanding of how modern China emerged. Reading the modern as a careful and ongoing conversation with the past renders the \""new\"" in a different perspective. This volume is a significant step toward a new historical narrative of China\u2019s modern history, one wherein \""ruptures\"" can exist in tandem with continuities.
