He criticized the later Revivalists such as Wang Shizhen (), a contemporary bureaucrat and scholar. Wang Shenzhong, Mao Kun, Tang Shunzhi and Gui etc. were bracketed together as Tang Song pai (, a school advocating Tang and Song dynasties' classic works of literature) afterwards, while Gui was regarded as the head of them. These writers of the mid-Ming created the canon of the eight great Tang and Songwriters which impact hitherto. Despite Wang Shizhen and Gui being horrid to each other, Wang expressed great esteem towards him and compared his works to those of Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu, after Gui's death. Qian Qianyi praised his works as "the best prose of the Ming Dynasty" ().
