萧一山所撰《清代通史》和《清史大纲》是清史研究的重要成果。书中对于有清一代的大量历史人物作出了精彩而客观的评价,既能表彰历史人物的功绩,又能指出其过失或局限。萧一山评价历史人物主要依据其是否对国家民族的进步有所建树,而不注重其个人性格等小节;将历史人物置于历史演进的大势中作考察;既重视人物的事功,又重视代表时代前进要求的思想、学说所产生的作用。 Xiao Yishan’s “General History of the Qing Dynasty” and “Outline of Qing Dynasty” is an important achievement of the study of Qing history. The book made a brilliant and objective assessment of a large number of historical figures of the Qing Dynasty, both to commemorate the merit of historical figures, but also pointed out its negligence or limitations. Xiao Yishan evaluation of historical figures mainly based on whether they have contributed to the progress of the nation, but do not pay attention to its personal character and other sections; historical figures placed in the historical evolution of the general situation for inspection; both attention to the character of the merits, but also on behalf of the times The thought of advancement, the role of doctrine.
