This article deals with the study of Procopius of Caesarea in Chinese-speaking academia. The results of research on this late antique historian and his era, as well as the Chinese translation of his works, are included for discussion regarding their achievements and shortcomings. The article argues that, apart from Procopius’ works, a variety of topics of the Empire under the reign of Justinian have drawn the attention of academics. It concludes that, despite much research having been conducted recently, the study of this sixth-century historian is still in the primitive stage at the other end of Eurasia.
