"The Biography of Wu Zetian" is one of the masterpieces of the famous historian Wang Shounan. As the only recognized female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian has too many topics, and the versions of Wu Zetian's biography are even more complicated, with mixed reviews. The whole book is based on the author's oral history program lectures for radio stations. It has fluent language and comprehensive theoretical knowledge. It not only has a sense of historical reality, but also has strong appeal. The most distinctive feature of this book is that the author is based on official history and historical materials considered reliable by historical researchers. He does not fabricate plots or characters. He writes from when Wu Zetian was 14 years old to the time when Wu Zetian died shortly after she gave up the throne to her son Zhongzong at the age of 82. , striving to restore the life and era of this legendary queen fairly and objectively. Her historical merits and demerits are like that "wordless monument", left to be commented upon by future generations.

《武则天传》是著名历史学家王寿南的代表作之一。作为中国历史上唯一被承认的女皇帝,武则天身上有太多的话题,而关于武则天传的版本更是纷繁复杂,褒贬不一。全书以作者为广播电台做的口述历史节目讲稿为底本,语言流畅、学理通达,不仅具有历史真实感,而且具有较强的感染力。本书最大特色在于作者以正史及历史研究者认为可靠的史料为依据,不虚构情节,不捏造人物,从武则天14岁写起,一直写到82岁把皇位让给儿子中宗后不久死去为止,力求公正客观地还原这位传奇女皇的一生及那个时代。她的历史功过,犹如那块“无字碑”,任由后人评说。
