Abstract: Mr. Li Hu has been engaged in historiography research for more than 60 years and has been devoting himself to the teaching and research of ancient Chinese history with outstanding academic achievements. In a comprehensive view of Mr. Lis historical research,“independent thinking, bringing forth the originality through the obsolescence” is his thoughts of scholarly research, and “practice for learning, innovation for reality” is his research principle. Mr. Li hu not only initiated the new subject of “the history of Chinas ancient diplomatic system”, but also combined with new historical materials such as the Wu Bamboo Slips excavated at Zoumalou Wujian, reinterpreting the issues of “Lihu” and “Limin” in the Wei,Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and constructing a new academic system for the study of “Limin”. Mr. Li Hu attaches great importance to the organic combination of the handed down documents and the unearthed documents,and perfectly interprets the “bi-fold evidence methodology” in his research; thus setting a model for us in the application of historical materials.

Key words: Li Hu, independent thinking, bringing forth the originality through the obsolescence, practice for learning, innovation for reality
