Abstract

The appraisal of historical figures has always been one of the issues that historians have focused on and discussed. When appraising historical figures, we should first define historical figures, and then have a comprehensive analysis based on the definitions as well as the evaluating principles, standards, methods, and significance. Only in this way can we get a more accurate appraisal of historical figures.
