Abstract：Constructing an independent knowledge system in China is the academic responsibility of scholars in humanities social sciences. It is particularly necessary to systematically reflect on the significance and operational pathways of “China” as a methodology. Using China as a methodology means not only taking China as the background or object of research， but also as the premise and key for making propositions， constructing theories， choosing methods， and determining pathways. People studies as an example can present the specific working pathway of using China as a methodology， which means from exploring vivid concepts with Chinese genes to the specific use of “in the field” research methods， and then to the entire process of structuralizing the theory of “revealing institutions from the field”.
