Qian Daxin (simplified Chinese: 钱大昕; traditional Chinese: 錢大昕; Wade–Giles: Ch'ien Ta-hsin; 1728–1804), courtesy names Xiaozheng (曉徵) and Jizhi (及之), art names Xinmei (辛楣) and Zhuting (竹汀), was a scholar-official, historian, and linguist of the Qing dynasty of China. He served as a commissioner of education and examinations in Guangdong Province. As a proponent of kaozheng approach, Qian Daxin criticized moralizing ("praise and blame") interpretations of the Spring and Autumn Annals and argued that the importance of history should be deemed as valid as importance of the classics. The diplomat Qian Qichen, who served as China's Foreign Minister and Vice Premier, was a descendant of Qian Daxin.
