Liu Shao-tang, who in the course of his life rescued or brought to light countless quantities of Republican-era historical materials, and was variously described as "single-handedly the equal of a nation" and "head of the 'unofficial Academia Historica,'" never sought fame or fortune, and was always affable, cordial and sincere.
生前搶救與發掘民國史料無數，被譽為「以一人而敵一國」和「野史館館長」之名的劉紹唐，一生淡泊名利，為人親和誠摯，他的辭世深令故舊老友哀慟，紛紛前往劉宅靈堂上香悼念。
