As a general collection, Wenxuan provides a demonstration for the anthology, which has a positive impact and enlightens realistic thinking. The Wenxuan determines the nature of anthologies in previous dynasties: It’s not only "a collection of the works", but also "an evaluation of the articles". The anthology is not only a compilation of articles, but also a kind of literary criticism, which realizes the unity of philology significance and literary criticism. This is the most important connotation of the Wenxuan and the deeper meaning of the subject. Wenxuan has laid the foundation of the anthologies as an example of the article writing, which is reflected in a large number of imitations, continuations and adaptations. Wenxuan provides a compilation method for later dynasties. Later generations have learned from their method to compile the anthologies. They began to think about its future trend from the view of belittle and query. The above can be summarized as the nature and the role of the anthology of the Wenxuan, the realistic thinking and the significance of the school of anthology.
