When it comes to the method of learning, Wang Tongsan admonished the students, first, to read more books, the accumulation of human knowledge must be completed by hard work. Although the Internet retrieval is quite developed now, it can't completely replace reading, but it still needs to have the spirit of soaking in the library, and the spirit of grinding out the footprints of the British Museum by Marx. In the selection of literature, first, we should pay attention to the references behind books or papers, and follow them back. Second, we should focus on reading the most cited literature. Second, one of the necessary prerequisites for learning at present is to learn a foreign language well, but foreign languages are not so good. It is enough to master a foreign language as well as possible. Third, we should combine with the reality, especially for the students in the field of economics, economics is not a temple philosophy, its greatest use is to better solve practical problems, and more effectively work for the people's welfare. Fourth, we should pay attention to learning other people's advanced experience, especially foreign advanced technology and research methods.

Li Jingwen, Li Boxi and Wang Tongsan expressed their different views on the issue of "Whether the current economy is overheated" at the "New Year's tea party of the economic circle in the capital" held by Beijing Kaida economist advisory center.

Wang Tongsan believes that the current economy as a whole is not overheating, but there is a view of local overheating. He said that compared with the previous three overheats (1984-1985, 1988-1989, 1993-1994), although the growth rate of investment is very high, reaching more than 30%, there is no obvious sign of overheating in current consumption, and the growth rate of consumption is below 10%. From this he judged that the current economy as a whole was not overheated. But he also pointed out that the rapid growth of investment led to local overheating, so he warned that the growth rate of investment was too high. He said that the growth rate of investment in 2003 was the same as that of the previous three times when the economy was overheated. If this continues, the economy may overheat.
