Unified field theory is a physical theory that describes and reveals the common nature and intrinsic connections of fundamental interactions in a unified way, starting from the idea that interactions are transmitted by fields. This paper will start from the past of the unified field theory and use the literature research method to describe the problems encountered in completing the unified field theory and the possible solutions for the future. The result shows that unified field theory is a dynamic theory that is still being studied and has significant implications for the development of physics. This article argues that many of the shortcomings of this theory are due to the lack of mathematical theory. It is also pointed out that the creation of a new mathematical system is a feasible way. Finally, it is concluded that unified field theory is still a very difficult problem to explore.
