摘　　要：The Qing Dynasty Grand Secretariat Archives are considered to be among the four great ancient texts discovered in modem Chinese history,and the memorials from the Ministry of Justice have garnered particular attention due to their well-preserved socio-economic contemt(S)).From the 20th century onwards the New History,with its emphasis on drawing upon the social sciences'discussions of citizens,comnnunities and society,came to replace the more traditional"Imperial Genealogy"style of historiography,affording us a grander view of history.Progressing fbrward with"the times,"the New History continued to innovate and diversify the field;in terms of Qing dynasty social historical research,it brought about constant exploration and change within the field,first having shifted from socio-economic history to social history,then moving on to life history,the investigation of the"seeds of capitalism,"class relations,lower-clss society,marriage and family relations,law and justice,gender studies,daily life(Tif T,livelihood and environment"),and so on,continually pushing the boundaries of academic research.Yet,underlying all this change wqs a close relationship between the use of the Ministry of Justice Memorials and the field's overall development.This article not only introduces several findings made by academicians in using the Ministry of Justice Memiorials,but also sets out to further reveal the relationship between the New History and the memorials themselves,probing into the deeper question of broader changes in historiography and their relationship with generational shifts in inrellectual thought.
