 If "Questions and Replies" was created by Yuan Yi, it is not clear if the military theories found in "Questions and Replies" are actually the opinions of Li Jing, taken from other sources and compiled by Yuan Yi to form the present text, or if they are Yuan Yi's original thoughts, using the veneer of Li Jing's speech in order to promote the acceptance of his theories.There is some evidence discrediting the theory that Yuan Yi forged the text.Previous to the compilation of the Seven Military Classics, the Song Emperor Shenzong (r.1068-1085) ordered the study and exegesis of a ""Li Jing Bing Fa"" (""Li Jing's Military Methods"").
