清代史家崔述生於考證大興的乾嘉時期，其傾畢生心力所著的「考信錄」是部辨 偽上古史事的史學名著。他甚於「尊經衛道」的理念，秉持「考信於六藝」的原則，長期孤 寂地對古代的文獻從事考證的工作，因而揭露古書記載的錯誤、矛盾，對於釐清上古史事的 真相有很大的貢獻。但由於他疑古太過，反難容於當時的學者，被視之為離經叛道、誣聖蔑 道，致其作品遭受長達百年的冷落，直到民初他的研究價值才受到學者的肯定、稱許，被視 為「疑古先驅」。儘管崔述因尊儒的立場過於濃厚，不免使其論斷流於主觀的弊病，但其鍥 而不捨、勇於懷疑的治史氣魄，仍值得後世習史者學習效尤。

　　　　　Tsuei Shu (1740-1816) was a lonely historian in Ching Dynasty, and the most famous of his works was "Kau Chin Lu", which he ispected historial events in Chinese ancient time. He respected Confucianism and their classics, but, when he found the classics was misunderstood, he decided to clear them. He spent almost 30 years to write this book. He analyzed the content of many ancient documents, appointed their mistakes, and researched the real facts of ancient history. Because he doubted dosuments too much, his viewpoints could not received by Ching's scholars. Therefore, this book had been neglected for hundred years. Until 1920s, Tsuei Shu's textual research was revalued, and "Kau Chin Lu" became the famous book which many scholars were eager to read. In fact, the demonstaction of Tsuei Shu is not correct completely for his subjective judgement, and the content of this book is still controversial. Although his study has some faults, his spirit of working with perseverance and daring to doubt authoritative statements is the model for later historical learners.
