淸代의 哲學은 明道救世와 實事求是였다. 즉 ‘도를 밝히고 세상을 구 하려는 것’이며. 淸代 學術 變遷의 요점은 史學으로 經學을 포함하는 것 이었다. 淸代의 學術은 乾嘉考證學이 으뜸이긴 하나, 淸朝의 특색이 진 보적이고 창의적인 시대에 걸 맞는 思想이 없다는 것이 아쉽다.
博學多識한 楊守敬은 金石學을 좋아하고 考證學에 저명한 학자로, 수 많은 자료들을 섭렵하여 목록을 작성하고 다방면의저술을 편찬하여 淸 末에서 民國 초기의 가장 걸출한 인물로 회자되고 있다.

楊守敬은 서예가이며 서예 이론가이기도 했는데, 그의 저서『學書邇 言』에서는 우수한 書藝家가 반드시 갖춰야 할 素養인 ‘五要’를 주장하였 고, 필법에 있어서는 ‘八面出鋒論’과 ‘楷法源頭說’을 주장하였다.
