Ye Shengtao had an important influence on the development of modern education in China. He introduced a brand-new concept to education in China. He said: "Students should be taught learning methods instead of inculcating book knowledge in detail for a long time." This view breaks through the traditional Chinese teaching concept and is used to relying heavily on memory and indoctrination.
In addition, Ye Shengtao promoted critical thinking and made people realize the importance of personal value judgment. He believes that these learning skills should be used to build students' foundation and will also become the starting point for students' lifelong learning.

Readability is a prominent feature of Ye Shengtao's works. It means that readers can perceive and understand the content of the article more efficiently. As a journalist, Ye Shengtao emphasizes the use of words in his works. This is probably because he had been a teacher of 10 for many years before he became an editor.
He believes that the article is written for readers, and at the same time he regards the article as a tool for readers to communicate with the author. A huge problem faced by the authors at that time was that they did not have excellent writing ability. Their expressions are inaccurate and vague. Only well-educated people can appreciate their articles.
The author does not attach importance to practicality. So literary works are difficult to be accepted by the general public. Ye Shengtao believes that only by writing practical and easy-to-understand articles can we write elegant works. If the reader doesn't understand the content of the article, the article is useless.
