Abstract:With the example of “No China after Yashan Event”, this paper analyses the internal logic and transmission of the historical topics on the new media. It holds that in the absence of general humanistic education, even some netizens with better education are apt to be trapped in the capital logic of the new media and unable to extricate themselves, thus ignoring the fact that history studies require scientific logic. Although the new media may serve as chances for professional historians with netizens, the foundation of this kind of conversation has not yet been laid. In the aspect of history studies, the heated discussions on some of the historical events provide the professional historians with no new theories or methodologies or view points than personalized oral narratives. In some sense, they are merely a false "carnival" of knowledge.
