Abstract: Guizhou Annals?Miao Annals has much similarity with the book Baimiao Paint in aspects of written time,social background,objects and contents.However,the former was compiled by officials and adopted an official standpoint;the compilers,relying on the previous books or second-hand information,did not examine what they described in the annals in person,so mistakes abounded in the annals.The latter was written by Chen Hao according to his own experience.Traditionally,Chen Hao was regarded that he did not give clear criticism and rectification on the annals,and that his book Baimiao Paint did not have significant value in history.The author of the paper,by comparing the annals and Chen Hao’s book carefully,finds that the book Baimiao Paint has a higher historical value than the annals,thus if one wants to know the social situations of Guizhou at that time,he should first choose Baimiao Paint.

Key words: the book Baimiao Paint, Guizhou Annals?Miao Annals, criticism, rectification
