His book Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen Ji Zhu is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of him and his disciples, they mime the annotation of classics by scholars of Li Xue(a Confucian school of idealist philosophy of the Song and Ming dynasties), made annotations sentence by sentence according to the original texts of Su Wen(the Plain Questions), has a good reference value for the study of Nei Jing(the Inner Canon).

The book respects the edition and theories from Wang Shuhe and Zhang Suicheng and deleted the original part Shang Han Li(the cases of the cold-induced diseases). Listed the original texts of the six channels first, then listed Huo Luan, Yin Yang Yi, Chai Hou Lao Fu(recurrence caused by overexertion after recovery), then listed Jing Shi Ye Han Tu Xia Hou(convulsions, dampness, Ye, perspiration, vomiting, purgation, etc.), then listed the methods of pulse identification and normal pulse. The chapters are divided and advocated to maintain the old theory and edition from Wang Shuhe, and proposed to use the doctrine of Yunqi(doctrine of five evolutive phases and six climatic factors) to explain the pathogenesis of the six channels. In the book, some commentaries from the predecessors are selected, and there are many insights from Zhang Zhicong and his disciple Gao Shihi.
