There are different opinions about Cai Jing. Be included in Cai Jing, widely reprimanded. But many people have written articles about him. After Cai Jing died, his master Lu Chuan paid his funeral expenses. Once, he wrote an epitaph to Cai Jing, saying, "What crimes did Yao and Song commit during the Tianbao period?"

Ye Shi, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "The income of Song Caifu doubled that of the Tang Dynasty, and increased several times after Xifeng. However, since Xining, there have been more ways to exchange money in Cai Jing. In the early stage of this generation, a salt law was enacted to "set up an official institution to allow businessmen to sell chicken gizzards." "It's all an extension of Cai Jing Salt Law.
