metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the development of the methodology of Chinese historical geography
  in the 1950–1960s and the role of the famous scholar Hou Renzhi in this
  process, the sources of Hou Renzhi’s new approach to historical-geographical research
  are investigated. The main points of two of Hou Renzhi’s most representative articles
  on the methodology, "Discussing the Course 'Evolutionary Geography of China'" (1950)
  and "My [Humble] Thoughts on Historical Geography" (1962), are compared with the
  ideas presented in the articles of the English scholar C. Darby and the Soviet scholar
  V. K. Yatsunsky. The comparison shows that although Hou Renzhi relied primarily on
  the methodology of C. Darby, the need to bring Western concepts in line with Marxist
  theory determined some convergence of his approaches with those of the Soviet
  scholar Hou Renzhi played a decisive role in creating a solid theoretical and methodological
  basis for modern Chinese historical geography, selecting the most advanced
  ideas for the mid-20th century and combining them with the traditions and experience
  of Chinese science.
