There were many sources of poetry in romance novels. Some directly quoted ancient poetry, while others combined ancient poetry with modern events and characters to create new poetic images. One of the more classic examples was the poem in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. In the novel, Lin Daiyu was described as " pure in nature and pure in return." The word " pure " here came from the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's " Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell." In the novel, Xue Baochai was described as a "Xiangling bitter study poem", which quoted the poem "Fragrant rice pecking parrot grain green parasol perched on the old phoenix branch" in Bai Juyi's "Fu of Huanxi Sand·North Village Road". Some modern romance novels would also quote ancient poems, such as "The Sapphire Case·Yuanxi","After the person returns to the wild goose, the thought is sent in front of the flower", and "Life naturally has love, this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon" in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". The poems in romance novels came from a wide range of sources, including classic sentences from ancient poetry and modern elements, presenting readers with a rich and colorful literary form.

There was no direct connection between the Investiture of the Gods and the prehistoric novels. The Romance of the Gods was an ancient Chinese novel that told the story of the gods being sealed between the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. Its main plot was about King Zhou of Shang being attacked by King Wu of Zhou and becoming a god, as well as his struggle with various demons and ghosts. This novel was regarded as a classic of ancient Chinese novels and an important work in the history of Chinese literature. Primitive novels referred to myths and legends from ancient China, which described the application and changes of supernatural creatures such as humans, gods, demons, and so on in ancient Chinese society. The representative works of prehistoric novels included Journey to the West, Investiture of the Gods, Dream of the Red Chamber, and so on. Therefore, the Investiture of the Gods was not the origin of the prehistoric novels but an independent novel with a completely different background and storyline.
