《清史通俗演义／蔡东藩历朝通俗演义》内容始自女真贵族努尔哈赤建立后金政权，皇太极改国号为清，清世祖定都北京，统一中国，一直到辛刻革命推翻清王朝为止。作者将清代近三百年的重大历史事件，编写成通俗演义一百回，在一定程度上反映了清代的历史情况，对读者了解清史有一定的参考价值。(The content of the Dramatized History of the Qing Dynasty/Cai Dongfang's Dramatized History of Successive Dynasties starts with the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty's regime by the Jurchen chieftan, Nurhaci, the changing of the dynastic title to Qing by Hong Taiji, the setting of Beijing as the Qing capital, the unification of China, through to the overthrowing of the Qing Dynasty in the cultural revolution. The author takes the almost 300 years of significant historical events in the Qing Dynasty to construct a dramatized history of 100 acts, reflecting the historical situation of the Qing Dynasty to a certain degree to make the reader understand the Qing Dynasty's history's value as a reference.)
