《文木山房诗说》虽为读《诗经》以及与《诗经》相关著述而做的笔记,也可以说是读《诗》杂记,但吴敬梓此作的完成恰好在清代疑古思辨之风方兴未艾之际,在清代《诗经》学史甚至在全部《诗经》学史上都应该有一定的代表性。我们不必因为吴氏是《儒林外史》的作者而无由地抬高其《诗说》的价值,但也不应以《诗说》为杂记而贬损其应有的意义。 “Wen Mu Shan Fang Shi said that although the” Book of Songs “and the” Book of Songs “related to the notes and can also be said to read” poem “miscellany, but Wu Jingzi completed this precisely in the Qing dynasty In the ascendant, there should be some representation in the history of the Book of Songs in the Qing Dynasty and even in the history of the Book of Songs. We do not need to uplift the value of ”poetry“ because Wu is the author of ”Scholars“, but we should not derogate the significance of ”poetry" as a miscellaneous note.
