Professor Huang had made a great academic contribution to the New H istory's Practice and Construction in China. His academic works are characterised in connecting western theory of evolution with traditional Chinese theory of Seeking Truth and The Past Serve the Present". Prefessor Huang's lifelong pursuit of academic research was Dialectical unity of historical philosophy and historical science.Professor Huang was consistently critical to the works of Chinese
