Qian Mu is a scholar who has established his position in academic circles by studying hard. His scholarship is deeply influenced by Zhang Xuecheng's thought that the Six Classics are all history. The research and textual research on the history of China, especially on China thinkers and their ideological origins, have their own opinions. It is pointed out that Confucianism and Mohism were regarded as the originator of later philosophers' thoughts in the pre-Qin period, and they were classified, bypassed four schools and exchanged the origin of China's ancient culture. His research achievements in Confucianism are also very outstanding. For example, Sima Qian's "Historical Records Confucius Family" is mixed with authenticity, and the order is reversed, so the legends of later generations are not credible. Therefore, he inspected Confucius' life story in detail, including the date of birth and death, parents, aspirations, early career, teaching, fitness, health preservation, extravagance, Song Dynasty, career, Chen Dynasty, Cai Dynasty and his later years. Another example is that scholars of Confucian classics in the late Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei and others thought that Liu Xin had forged classical Chinese, and Qian Mu wrote Chronicle of Liu and his son, which denied the viewpoint of Confucian classics in the late Qing Dynasty with convincing evidence, ended the case of the debate on Confucian classics in the late Qing Dynasty, and became famous in the northern academic circles. . In addition, Qian Mu made in-depth research on Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, especially Zhuxue, and Neo-Confucianism in the Qing Dynasty, especially Ganjia School. In the study of history, he attaches importance to the particularity and long tradition of China's historical development, and has made in-depth research in general history, cultural history, ideological history, historical theory and methods, and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Qian Mu attached great importance to exploring the inner essence of China national culture and spoke highly of it. He believes that "the future of our nation and country will still gain vitality within itself caused by the culture of our ancestors". In his later years, Qian Mu paid more attention to the study of cultural philosophy and made a lot of in-depth ideological explorations on Chinese and western cultural issues. In his last article, The Contribution of China Culture to the Future of Mankind (published in the 4th issue of China Culture edited by Liu Mengxi), he had a new understanding of the traditional philosophy of "the harmony between man and nature" in China, and he was "convinced".
