Wang Yi wrote a critique called "Wen Yao" to oppose Yang Weizhen's poetry style. The critique was likely written in the late Yuan dynasty while Wang Yi was in Suzhou. Wang Yi aimed to defend traditional poetry and challenge the popular Tie Ya Ti style in the Wu region. By comparing Wang Yi and Yang Weizhen's poetry concepts, it was found that Wang Yi's criticism had a significant impact on literary and academic traditions in Jiading. Wang Yi's independent spirit influenced future intellectuals in Jiading to prioritize learning ancient knowledge over following trends.
