He emphasized on the morality of historians very much which was put in the first place. He also clearly defined the history. The main efforts of historians should concentrate on one or several points, not on very wide fields. He suggested that views on history mostly contain the abilities of historians to observe, and then he introduced how to accomplish sharp observation forces. In history talents aspect, he thought the most key is organization and literary expressions abilities. Compared with the former historians, his expositions are more clear and easier to master, making the after people researching history not waste energies and time. Up to today, his review on this matter is still worth being paid attention to.
