There are more than 400 poems, including Acacia and Autumn Night in the Mountain. His works include The Collection of Wang Youcheng's Works and The Secret of Painting.

? There is a saying that "Li Bai is a genius, Du Fu is a native talent and Wang Wei is a talent", and later generations also call Wang Wei Shi Fo. This title not only expresses the Buddhist meaning and religious tendency in Wang Wei's poems, but also expresses his affirmation. Wang Wei is not only recognized as Shi Fo, but also a master of Nanshan literati painting. He is proficient in temperament, good at calligraphy and seal cutting, and is a rare all-rounder
As far as ideological content is concerned, Wang Wei's poems are far from comparable to those of Li and Du Fu. In terms of art, Wang Wei did have his unique achievements and contributions. In the Tang Dynasty, the poems of Liu Changqing, Ten Talents in Dali, Yao He and Jia Dao were all influenced by Wang Wei to varying degrees. Until the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shizhen admired verve, but actually regarded his poems as worship.
