Praise Tao Yuanming's poem "dry outside and paste inside, as light and beautiful." (Su Shi's Poems on Dongpo's Inscriptions and Postscripts) Zhu said: "The poems of Yuan and Ming Dynasties are unremarkable. Some people are proud of him, but they are bold and uninhibited. The man who shows his true colors is an article in Ode to Jing Ke. How can an ordinary person say such a thing? " Gong Zizhen also said in Qing Dynasty: "Like Wolong Hao, Xunyang is tall. Mohist poets are plain, divided into Fu Liang and Sao. "
Great poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi and Lu You all spoke highly of Tao Yuanming's poems.

If these four sons have no literary genius, their personalities will be self-sufficient for generations. " (Literary Essays). [7]
