明清階段有不少與六朝相關而質精的詩評，然近現代學者對此之關照尚稱有 限，故容有多處值得探索，吳淇《六朝選詩定論》即是其一。
聚焦至抒情與擬作來談，吳淇擅長透過形構的分析闡釋詩情，並能精確解析 情意的轉變或深化。擬作因其為1疑」，一般多會被質疑情感是否真摯。陸機詩風 以華美著稱，其擬作亦難跳脫此疑惑。然透過吳淇對陸擬詩的闡發，不論是與原 作細細相較，或是就擬作形構一一拆解，倶可見在吳淇眼中，陸擬作實不乏委婉 深延的情意，擬作與真情不相矛盾的可能性，或可由吳氏之評得一反思。
就詩歌批評史的發展而言，吳淇之論誠具備相當之價值：吳氏之前，詩評多 以直觀方式呈現，吳淇卻能:UIW體、有所依據地分析，這無疑使古典詩歌的闡析 更具客觀性。專就陸機擬作而言，吳淇以前不是留意陸詩之形製，即是貶抑其乏 情，然透過吳氏的解析，除了使我們對陸詩情感打更深切的理解，吳論也打破前 此詩評家對陸機擬作缺乏情感與生命力的負面觀感，提供我們重新省思的空間。 此外，近現代學者也出現一派觀點，重新肯認陸擬作之情，此雖不必然受吳淇影 響，俋可確定的是：吳氏肯定陸機擬作之情感，在詩評史上誠有導夫先路的重要

The Ming and Qing Dynasties have many good criticisms about the poems in Six Dynasties, but recent researches don't show much concern about it. This situation leaves us a lot of chances to explore the poetry selection or criticism in the Ming and Qing Dynasties，one of these is Final Conclusion of Poetry Selection of Six Dynasties written by Wu Qi.
Focusing on lyric and imitations of poems, Wu Qi was good at elucidating lyric by analysing the poems’s composition. As to imitations of poems, people often doubt if the emotions are true because of the imitations, and Lu Chi’s Mg-^(imitations of Nineteen OW Poe/M(古詩十九首)）cannot get rid of this doubt as well.However, Wu Qi tried to compare Nineteen Old Poems with Nigu and analyzed the compositions of Nigu carefully. By observing Wu Qi’s criticism, we can finally find that Nigu's emotions may be true indeed.
In the history of poetry criticism development, Wu Qi’s points are really valuable. Before Wu Qi, poetry criticism often directly perceives through the senses. However, the way Wu Qi analyzed poems seems more objective. Besides, critics either take care of the compositions of Nigu or think Nigu lacks true emotions before Wu Qi. But by Wu’s analyses, we can understand Nlgu's emotions deeply and break the former negative impression. Moreover, some recent researches approve Nigu's emotions, it may be influenced by Wu Qi. To sum up, Wu，s points are indeed important in the history of approving Nlgu's emotions.
