Xiang Mingda is one of the most famous mathematicians in the late Qing dynasty. This paper mainly discusses his mathematical thought, including his viewpoint of the aim of studying mathematics, expositions on the highly abstract, understanding of space forms and quantity relation as well as of the finite and the infinite, ideas on limit and transformation of line and curve, attitude towards ancient Chinese mathematics and Western mathematics, etc.. The relationship between Xiang's mathematical thought and his successes is also tentatively deal with in the paper.
