Herewith, the article tries to provide a platform that can be used to answer the questions of continuity and succession between the studies of modern logic as conducted at the most progressive (modernised) universities in late Republican China(especially Qinghua University) on the one side, and the formation and development of studies in logic in post-1949 Taiwan, on the other.
