Although the pre-Qin prose is not a pure literary work, it has a great and far-reaching influence on the development of China literature. The origins of various styles in later generations are more common in the pre-Qin period. In Liu Xie's stylistic comments on Wen Xin Diao Long, we often trace back to the source until the pre-Qin period.

The theories and historical biographies in the pre-Qin period were directly inherited by later generations. In addition, the chapter "Luz, Zeng Yong, You Ran and Gong Xihua sit down" in The Analects of Confucius and the chapter "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Yan Zi" are all similar anecdotes. Zuo Zhuan and Liezi are both fantastic books, both of which contain ghosts and gods, almost fantastic books.

The fables in Zi and Shi, Mu Zhuan and Yan Danzi Zhuan can be said to be the seeds of novels. The origin of Han Fu can be seen clearly in Warring States Policy, Zhuangzi Jian Shuo and Song Yu's Answer to the King of Chu.
