Tan Xian once acclaimed Jiang Chunlin as "a master of ci who equals Du Fu" in his "FuTang Comments on Ci ". This comment had great influence on modern history of ci. A lot of scholars began to study Jiang Chunlin's ci and spoke favourably of his works including famous scholars such as Tan Xian, Wu Mei , Xia Chengtao and so on.

She also made a careful analysis of his ci. The ten theses from the mainland studied Shui Yun Building Ci's content , style and writing skill. Huang Yanli once drew a conclusion on his style, that is lonelyness, enthusiasm and sincerity. But her conclusion needs to be perfected.The thesis is based on Xia Chengtao's comments on Jiang's ci in his work , and attempts to explore Shui Yun Building Ci's unique style.
