[edit] evaluation

Levin, a historical novelist, has a low opinion of Sheng Xuanhuai. History of Qing Palace: "Li Hongzhang mocked Sheng Xuanhuai's next word' Lian' in Beijing, saying that if Sheng Xuanhuai can be called clean, girls in eight hutong classes can build a prescription to show their chastity". However, as an official in the late Qing Dynasty, Sheng's forward-looking and pragmatic spirit is commendable. It is an indisputable fact that Sheng has made outstanding contributions to the cause of communication education in China.
