Abstract
Many different models, approaches, styles, and concepts have been created throughout the human study of history and each has caused an evolution of understanding within the discipline. Each of these tools are built with a purpose in mind so that they can advance our understanding of the past, while those that failed to stand the test of time have at least had their remnants act as fertilizer for new ideas. With the modern ideas of the prosumer rising in the discipline of higher education as someone who is at the same time the consumer and producer of an intellectual product such as historical romances in the vein of Ivanhoe or in more extreme cases shows like Fate/Apocrypha so should the concepts that are used in academia evolve. Based heavily on Bentley’s Companion to Historiography evaluation of four styles of understanding the history of China and the voyages of Zheng He during the Ming Dynasty, a new approach to historians’ products will be built. Using the dynastic cycle variant of periodization and cultural studies will test and examine to find the minimum requirements of a new prosumer assistive approach to producing historical works.
