On behalf of the poetry societies, Professor Li Jui-teng of National Central University argues that they have long been unfairly overlooked by the government and academia. "Though the past decade has witnessed great cultural interest in 'the native soil,' the cultural establishment has shown a bias for preserving and developing folk arts. Classical poetry hasn't gotten the attention it deserves."
站在傳統詩社的立場，中央大學副教授李瑞騰卻認為它長期沒有受到官方和學院的注意，「即使這十年來本土熱興起，文化建設也比較傾向於民俗技藝的保存與發揚，在舊體詩方面沒有給予應有的重視。」
