Abstract: As a result of modern social and cultural crisis caused by World War II,Historical Progress Theory is being challenged deeply and seriously and the negative effects of science is vacillating the conception of history with rationality as the foundation.Postmodern historiography has been formed under such background.It proposes the suspicion to the historical reality concept,the historical authenticity,the belief of historical understanding and the pursuit of objective truth.Postmodern ideological trend has made great impact on the modern history,which attaches great importance to the interpretation of the fabric of language,the return to narrative and historical text and micro-history.We should notice that backward historiographical concept hinders the development of historiography when we criticize the challenges on the content and methods of modern history given by Post-modernism,which drives historical scholars to reflect on constant methods of historical research,to make their thoughts clear to some extent in order to search more effective history research method.
