Deeply rooted in the political, ideological and historical background of the mid-Ming Dynasty, Tang Shunzhi's historical connotation is relatively rich. The characteristics of historiography have changed throughout life, and it has generally gone through the study of classics in the early stage to the maturity of compilation theory and historical commentary in the later stage. In addition to his daily entertainment and official responsibilities, he wrote a certain number of biographies and inspection records, and participated in the transcription of actual records, which became an integral part of the history of the Ming Dynasty. His historiography had a direct and extensive impact on the subsequent development of historiography in the Ming Dynasty in terms of enlightenment and practical application. Tang Shunzhi also enriched and deepened our understanding of the interactive relationship between "national history" and "unofficial history" with his "appearance in his later years". Broadening the historical perspective, as an ordinary scholar in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Tang Shunzhi's historical value is not limited to the direct expression of his own historiography, but also reflects the general occurrence and development of historiography in the mid-Ming Dynasty to a certain extent due to his "ordinary" and "general" universal significance. At the same time, in accordance with the understanding of "one flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata", his complete growth process of historiography also reflects to some extent the development process of Ming Dynasty historiography and even the entire ancient Chinese historiography.
