《武则天传》代表着林语堂在传记文学创作方面的最高成就。 林语堂写这本武氏传，是对智能犯罪做一项研究。 一个典型的家族故事，一方面是唐朝王公李家，一方面是武后武家，是这两家的仇恨故事。这本书中，带有强烈的作者主观意识，称不上传记。(The biography of Wu Zetian represents Lin Yutang's highest achievement in biographical literature. Lin Yutang wrote the Wushi, is to do a research on Intelligent crime. A typical family story, on the one hand, is the Tang Dynasty princes and Li family, on the one hand, Wu Wu family, is the hatred of the two stories. This book has a strong author's subjective awareness, not a biography.)
