Abstract Guan Zhui Bian is a work of profound thought and great content. For years, the academics have launched many books on it and yielded fruitful achievements. However, as to whether Guan Zhui Bian has established an independent theoretical system and whether it has a unique hermeneutic methodology, scholars have different views. Guan Zhui Bian is the note the author took when studying the ten classics of ancient China. Its author, Professor Qian Zhongshu, did not aim to study the classics or the commentaries on them by later writers. Instead, he expressed his creative ideas on literature, history, and philosophy triggered by the study of the classics and his perspectives on life. We need to gain a clear understanding of the style of Guan Zhui Bian and the scholastic style of its author, which will help us make a realistic and proper evaluation of its academic value. Either overestimating its academic value and turning a blind eye to the limitation because of its style or belittling it in general without specific evidence, none of them reveals the scientific attitude of seeking truth from the facts.
