The General History of Taiwan (臺灣通史) is a work of Taiwanese history in the traditional style of historiography written by Taiwanese historian Lien Heng during the Japanese colonial period.[1] The book was written in the 1910s and published in the 1920s. The first and second volumes of the general history of Taiwan were published in 1920 by Lien Heng himself through the Society for the General History of Taiwan set up in Dadaocheng, Taipei; the third volume was published in 1921. In 1946, the Chongqing edition was published, consisting of a first and second volume. The foreword and inscription by Japanese officials had been removed and changes had been made to the order and content, adding forewords by Hsu Ping-chang and Chang Chi. In 1947, the Shanghai edition was published.[2]
