Nineteen Ancient Poems is a remarkable symbol of the humanization of Yuefu ancient poems. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the literati attached importance to the value of individual existence, which made them establish a broader and deeper emotional connection with their social environment and natural environment. In the past, things related to external achievements, such as the worship of the ancestral temples of emperors and princes, the martial arts of literary records, hunting and recreation, and even the official offices in the capital, once dominated the subject areas of literature, but now they have given way to the sources of advance and retreat, friendship and love, and even streets and fields, phenology and solar terms, which are closely related to the poet's real life and spiritual life. The subject matter, style and skills of literature have undergone tremendous changes.
Nineteen Ancient Poems occupies an important position in the development of five-character poems and is also of great significance in the history of China's poems. Its theme, content and expression techniques have been imitated by later generations, almost forming a model. His artistic style also influenced the creation and criticism of later poems. As far as the actual situation of the development of ancient poetry is concerned, Liu Xie's Wen Xin Diao Long is called "the crown of five words", while Zhong Rong's poems praise it as "flawless and golden". "The ancestor of five words throughout the ages" is not too much. In the history of poetry, Nineteen Ancient Poems is regarded as the power of five-character ancient poems. For example, Wang Shizhen in Ming Dynasty said, "Nineteen Poems is not as good as Three Hundred Poems in reasoning, but it is the originator of five-character ancient poems. Lu Shiyong said, "Nineteen Poems is the wind and the mother of poetry. "
