The revision of Ming History in Qing Dynasty began in 1645, but it was finalized and published in Qianlong period 1739, which lasted for 94 years. It was not easy for the four emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong to edit history, and many literati who edited history were killed during this period. (Zhao, editor-in-chief of Draft of Qing History, published Draft of Qing History in the same year of his death (1927))

In fact, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang government began to edit the history of the Qing Dynasty. 19 14 Yuan Shikai approved the revision of Qing History, with Zhao Erxun as the editor-in-chief. The revision was initially completed in 1927, which lasted for 15 years, with a total of 536 volumes and more than 8 million words. When Zhao Erxun saw that the compilation work had come to an end, he rushed to print it without modification and named it "Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty".
Mainly because Zhao Erxun was a senior official of the Qing Dynasty. /kloc-Jinshi in the middle of 0/874, successively served as Shanxi Shangshu, Hunan Governor, Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu, Tianjing General, Jiangxi Governor, Sichuan Governor and Northeast Governor. He died on1September 3, 927. He wanted to publish the Draft of Qing History before his death, which was utilitarian.
The starting and ending time of the Draft of Qing Dynasty is1616-1912. Because Nurhachi is called the King of Khan in Hetuala, it is open to question. Why is it named "Draft of Qing History"? It is because Zhao Erxun and others think that many aspects such as political views, genre style, historical facts and so on need to be discussed, they named it "Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty", expecting others to compile and improve it again and become the Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty.
After the frequent wars in the Republic of China, the revision of the History of Qing Dynasty went nowhere. (Dai, historian, director of the National Committee for the Compilation of Qing History, responsible for the compilation of Qing history)
