Manchu archives are an excellent national cultural heritage containing the cultural genes and values of the Qing Dynasty. Over the past decades, Manchu researchers and scholars from all walks of life have devoted themselves to the excavation and research of Manchu archives, in which the research results of Manchu archives embodying the Central Plains and the Western Regions are quite abundant, with a total of 1,030 articles in China Knowledge Network (CNKI) in the period of 1980-2024, of which more than 300 articles were selected for analysis, and divided into the stage of excavation and collation (1980-2000), the stage of steady development (1980-2000), and the stage of steady development (1980-2000). We analyzed more than 300 articles, and divided them into the stage of digging and organizing (1980-2000), the stage of steady development (2001-2012), and the stage of prosperous development (2013-2024), and reviewed and combed the research trends of each stage from the five dimensions of the number of researches, the research subjects, the types of journals, the research themes, and the research contents. On the basis of this review, we are looking forward to the future research on Manchu archives in the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
