Abstract：There are various divisions of historical sources in the field of history， and researchers are groping their way forward the divisions of historical sources in the field of modern and contemporary Chinese literature. Given that text is the main carrier of modern literary historical sources，while other types of historical sources should be considered，we can divide historical sources into two sections，textual and non textual，with “text” as the center. If we take “ literature” as the center， the historical sources of modern literature can be divided into literary and non literary sources. It is a more general and abstract method to divide the attribution of historical sources according to the value standard. Fu Sinian’s division method can be critically used for reference：historical sources should include direct and indirect，intentional and unintentional， official and folk，domestic and foreign，witness and hearsay，oral and written. Two kinds of divisions can also be summarized from Liang Qichao’s works：positive and negative，significant and insignificant. The divisions not only highlight the value of identification， but also emphasize the relativity of value. So far，we have completed the discussion on the divisions of historical materials from three aspects：the carrier or manifestation，the characteristics of genres and the attribution of values. By integrating these three levels，we have basically reorganized a relatively complete system of the divisions of historical sources of modern Chinese literature.
