The modernization paradigm poses a severe challenge to the traditional revolutionary history paradigm. To respond to the challenge and to defend the revolutionary historical paradigm has become one of the most important tasks for scholars sticking to this paradigm after entering a new era. In his later years, Liu Dainian was one of the most important figures in the revolutionary history style school. His thinking on such major issues as the basic clues of modern history in China, national independence and modernization, revolution and improvement constituted the core of his ideological understanding during this period.
