三朝《筹办夷务始末》为晚清大型官纂外交史料汇编,其编纂由于一直作为三朝《实录》次一级的任务秘密进行,因此其编纂机构和主要体例仿实录而成。但同时在史料的抉择及编排上,又兼收并蓄,吸收了纪事本末体的长处。而作为赓续相连的三朝《筹办夷务始末》,在内部编纂手法上,既有承袭,又有变化,尤其在内容与思想方面的变动,反映了特定时代中外关系上的独有特色。 Since the establishment of the “Fu Yi Period and the End of the Pan Dynasty” as the compilation of large-scale official compilation of diplomatic materials in the late Qing Dynasty, the compilation of the compilation was kept secret as a sub-level secret mission of the “Record Record” of the Three Dynasties. At the same time, however, it has also absorbed the merits of the Chronicle in the choice and arrangement of historical materials. As a continuation of the Three Dynasties, “the preparation for the barbarian mission”, in the internal compilation techniques, both inherited and changed, especially in content and ideological changes reflect the unique characteristics of Sino-foreign relations in a particular era.
