contents Let $α(n)$ denote the number of perfect square permutations in the symmetric group $S_n$. The conjecture $α(2n+1) = (2n+1) α(2n)$, provided by Stanley[4], was proved by Blum[1] using a generating function. This paper presents a combinatorial proof for this conjecture. At the same time, we demonstrate that all permutations with an even number of even cycles in both $S_{2n}$ and $S_{2n+1}$ can be categorized into three distinct types that correspond to each other.
