He has the reputation of "unparalleled Xu Shuzhong in five classics". The essence of the text exegesis. After 21 years, Shuowen Jiezi has been written in 15 volumes, with 9353 entries and 1163 reduplications, all arranged according to 540 radicals. It is the first monograph of philology in China on the original structure of Shuowen Jiezi and its etymology. To study the meaning of the six meridians, it is very precise. After the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination required the examination of Shuowen Jiezi. In addition, he has written many books, such as Wujing Yiyi and Huainan Honglie Jiegu, which have been lost. There are 14 volumes of Zizhu, Xiaojing Kongshi guwenshuo and ShuoWenJieZi.
