1, the selected works have far-reaching influence. Poetry and Fu were used to select scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and the literature of the Tang Dynasty was closely related to the literature of the Six Dynasties.

2. In the early Song Dynasty, the system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited, and the literati were also selected by poetry and fu. "Selected Works" is still a must-read for scholars, and there is even a proverb that "the selected works are rotten, and the scholar is half" (Lu You's Notes on the Old Learning Hall). When Wang Anshi was in power, he studied neo-Confucian classics. After that, Selected Works no longer became a textbook for scholars.
