由苏轼“以诗为词”创作实践引发的“本色”论，尚未明确澄清“本色”具体内涵，导致“本色”具有概念不清、定义不明的模糊性特点。“以诗为词”虽然较好推动了词的地位提升，表现出宋人潜在的“尊体”意识，但是，“尊体”意识与“本色”追求之间的内在矛盾，也使宋词尊体模式依然存在一定历史局限性。“以诗为词”促成宋人词体“诗化观”内部，形成由以诗作词创作手法的理论总结到以诗为标准来评价词的“雅化观”两个层次内容，具有各自不同的理论内涵。“以诗为词”既遵守法度，又变化创新的创作手法，还是对宋代文学“活法”论精神的具象化印证及其认同运用。由此，“以诗为词”在整体上推动了宋代文论新变。

The bense (natural color) theory triggered by Su Shis creative practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” has not fully clarified the specific connotation of benseAlthough the practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” has raised the status of cipoetry and has demonstrated Song peoples potential consciousness of “respecting the status of literary”, the contradiction between the consciousness of “respecting the status of literary” and the pursuit of bense also betrays the limit of Song peoples “respecting the status of literature”The concept of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” also contributed to the internal poetic view of Song peoples cipoetry, forming two layers of theoretical summary, one being the creative technique of using poetry to write lyrics and the other, the aesthetic view of using poetry as a standard to evaluate words, each with their own different theoretical connotationsThe means of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” not only adheres to the methods and scales, but also creates new writing techniquesIt amounts to a concrete confirmation and recognition of the spirit of the unconventional literary writing techniques in Song literatureAs a result, the practice of “measuring cipoetry with poetry” contributed to the transformation of Song literary theory as a whole.
