Abstract: The highest level of historical biographies is the esthetic beauty.The esthetic characterization of a historical hiography embodies two aspects:Firstly,its attitude toward historical figures is understanding rather than appraising;secondly,its judgment of historical figures should be appreciative rather than critical.The esthetics of historical recognition is not from a specific or particular angle,but from a pupular or supermundane angle.Its basic principle it that all histories are esthetically beautiful.The esthetic judgment is the most personal judgment,which means that when appraising a certain history,one should give full acknowledgement to any individual's unique principle or standard in the judgment of history.

Key words: historical biography, historical recognition, historical appraisal, esthetic
