After 1928, Wen Yiduo wrote very few poems and devoted most of his time to teaching and research on Chinese classics like *Classic of Change* (Yi Jing 易经 or Zhou Yi 周易), *Anthology of Poems* (Shi Jing 诗经), *Zhuang Zi* (庄子) , and *Songs of the South* ( Chu-ci 楚辞), etc. for the last 18 years of his life and published a new research work titled *A New Interpretation of the Classical Works* (gudian xin-yi 古典新义) that reflected his originality in exploring new ideas and thoughts on the study of classical Chinese literature. All those who are interested in the study of classical Chinese literature, Wen Yiduo’s works are highly worthy of careful observation.
