According to the relevant records in the diaries of scholars, after the publication of the Jinling Edition of Chuanshan Yishu, Wang Chuanshan’s Du Tong Jian Lun became a best seller and a historical treatise widely read by scholars. The intensive reading period of Du Tong Jian Lun was during the Tongzhi period, the period from the Reform Movement of 1898 to the Revolution of 1911, and the 1930s and 1940s after the publication of the Jinling Edition of the Chuanshan Yishu. Before and after the Reform Movement of 1898, with the invasion of western invaders, saving the nation from extinction became the only theme of the times. The historical thought of Du Tong Jian Lun was highly valued by people of insight at that time and became a powerful ideological weapon, which had an important impact on the ideological innovation movement in the late Qing Dynasty. Judging from the modern history of China, Du Tong Jian Lun will become a popular book at every historical turning point, and its circulation will be more extensive.
