Qi Sihe has made multifaceted contributions to Chinese historiography.

These include 20 on ancient Chinese history, five on modern Chinese history, and three on the history of Sino-Western relations. It can be said that every essay is a scholarly gem. He personally chose the title for the book and wrote a brief preface for it himself while on his deathbed.
