《大唐西市博物馆藏墓志》在文学研究方面具有重要价值。通过墓志记载文学家的事迹，可以对唐代文学名家诸如贺知章、李白、杜甫、韦应物等具有更为全面的了解；唐代是诗人辈出的时代，但因仅靠写本文献的流传而埋没了很多诗人和诗作，从新出墓志中挖掘被埋没的诗人和作品，也是学术研究的重要任务；墓志是特殊的人物传记，它在程序规范和变化发展的交融过程中不断演进；墓志出土的偶然性以及未经选择的原始状态，最有助于文体发生和演变的研究；通过墓志以钩稽唐代文人的著述，也可以展现唐代文学与学术繁荣的状况。

A Collection of Epitaphs from the Tang West Market Museum was of significant value in literary studies. The deeds of the Tang literary writers which were recorded in their epitaphs provide a more comprehensive understanding of such famous poets as He Zhizhang, Li Bai, Du Fu and Wei Yingwu. The Tang Dynasty was called “an era of poetry”, but many poets, together with their poems, remained unknown because they could be made well known only by spreading their manuscripts. These unknown poets found from their newly unearthed epitaphs provide important resources for academic research. Epitaph is a special type of biography, which has continuously evolved in the process of its normalization and development. The contingency and originality of the newly unearthed epitaphs are mostly helpful to the study of the occurrence and evolution of literary styles. On the basis of the newly unearthed epitaphs, the transcription of the works of the Tang literary writers can also exhibit the literary and academic prosperity in the Tang Dynasty.
