"Mencius"records a lot of comments in Mencius's teaching and lobbying career as one of the most important books of Confucian. Mencius quotes many contents of the books before Qin when he is discussing, and the quoting about the Book of Histroy is very special. We can get the conclusions that when Mencius is quoting, he often changes the words in original texts in order to fit to his own theoris. What is more, while he is disserting the cases which are recorded in the Book of History and against his theoris he hold negative attitude. Through contrast and research about the sentences Mencius quote from the Book of Histroy and the his arguments against the Book of Histroy, we can see that Mencius'quotion and arguments about the Book of Histroy is lnaccurate and random.The quoting and using about the Book of Histroy of Mencius gives great affects to people after him. Which is the most famous among them is Yan Ruoqu's applications in his research of pseudo debate. Yan use the contents that Mencius quotes as the prooves to judge the cantents of the Book of Histroy is fake. But Yan's conclusions is not based on the features about Mencius quote books we talk about above, and not objective enough ,so that many of them we should give a new underatandings.It is useful to recognize the featrue which Mencius quote the old books from the researches about the quoting and using the Book of Histroy of Mencius, and know how is the accuracy about it. So we can learn how accurate is the results from the previous scholars. If we wanted to complete this job, we should use the knowledges of the exegesis, the archeology and the statistics. By the results of the research we can check the achievements of pseudo debating comprehensively and objectively.
