Wang Xianqian also wrote six kinds of work songs, such as juanfeng, guizhixiang, matanyi, lailairenren, Taohuayuan, lilingpo and so on. There are six volumes of CI Yu Conghua, one volume of Qu Lu and one volume of Tan yuan CI Yu. There are three volumes of works on traditional Chinese opera, i.e. CI Yu Cong Hua and Xu CI Yu Cong Hua. Yuanlu focuses on the melody and rhyme of traditional Chinese opera; Yuanyuan mostly selects excellent songs and essays, with comments of writers attached; Yuanshi is about the ability and performance of traditional Chinese opera. The main idea of Yang Enshou's drama is to lay stress on the content of "setting up a religion in the world", lay particular stress on the use of poetry to regulate music, and ignore the stage performance. The historical materials of opera after the middle of Qing Dynasty are of certain reference value. Yang Enshou also wrote Tan yuan diaries, an important work in literature and history. This book consists of four parts, namely Chen you diaries, Beiliu diaries, Changsha diaries and Yan you diaries, covering all aspects of social life at that time.
