At the end of the 20th century, he was even praised as the successor to "Lanting Preface" and "Memorial Notes to My Nephew". "The third running script in the world".
Huang Tingjian wrote a postscript after this post: "Dongpo's poem is similar to that of Li Taibai, but he is still afraid that Taibai may not be anywhere. This book combines the writing styles of Yan Lugong, Yang Shaoshi, and Li Xitai, trying to make Dongpo recreate it. , It may not be as good as this. If Dongpo saw this book in the future, he would laugh at me for being respectful in a place where there is no Buddha. "Zhu Bian's "Old News of Qu Wei": "After Dongpo's article came to Huangzhou, no one could compare it, except Huang. When Lu Zhi was a poet, he could compete; in his later years, when he crossed the sea, Lu Zhi was also beyond compare."
