It was not until Xining became prime minister that the reform was initiated, which was called "Xining reform" or "Wang Anshi reform" in history.

Ning's political reform triggered a fierce conflict between the new faction and the conservatives in the imperial court, which was called "the struggle between the old and the new parties" in history, and finally Wang Anshi's political reform basically failed for various reasons. In history, this reform was mostly evaluated as good intentions, but Wang Anshi failed because of his own lack of ability. The success or failure of the reform proposed by Qi Xia, a historian of the Song Dynasty, is worth learning from later generations.
