So far, the academic research for the Bi Yuan and his shogunates has just begun, but its achievements in historiography still lack systematic,comprehensive exposition and in-depth study of the historical works. This paper will focus on Bi Yuan and his shogunates'history, collect a wide range of materials based on historical studies of the Bi Yuan shogunates'social background, academic atmosphere and the main results of the comprehensive analysis.It will also reveal its feature and objective evaluation of its status and influence in Qianlong Period of Qing Dynasty in the period of Qianlong of Qing Dynasty.'That why BiYuan's name could be related to historian is not noly because he had a profound respect for ZiZhiTongJian written by Sima Guang,but also he compiled a XuZiZhiTongJian within 30 years when he was sent outside and another matter which could connect him with historian is that he had editted ShiJiKao ",said by Mr Luo Shuwei when he mentioned BiYuan's historical contribution.What Luo said above proved the biggest contribution Bi Yuan had made,that is,the chronological histry book XuZiZhiTongJian and the collation to the catalog book Shi JiKao. XuZiZhiTongJian is much more excellent than those copies who wrote in Ming and Qing Dynasty in collection,contents,examples and thoughts.Later,when Bi Yuan charged Henan,his colleague, Zhang Xuecheng,took responsibility of ShiJiKao for 60 years from Qianlong 52 to Daoguang 20,during which suffered a lot. The works had been repairing for sixty years, with large numbers of participants before and after although the final ruin, Bi Yuan shogunates'power is not dead.We all know that even one matter shows the full history of the district.

"We can see Bi Yuan was well nurtured in a good education by Jingxue and theXiaoxue.Therefore,His shogunate and him could compiletheShuoWenJieZiJiuYin, theJingdianwenzibianzheng,ShiMingShuZheng,XiaXiaoZhengKaoZhu,ChuanJingBi ao and TongJingBiao,which are a series of primary and the classic works.
