尤精《三傳》，辨正《公羊》，以為衛輒不應辭以王父命，祭仲失為臣之節，舉此二端以明臣子之體，遂行於世。 He mastered the three commentaries on the Spring and Autumn and corrected the Gongyang tradition, arguing that Prince Kuaire of Wei should not have refused the throne citing his grandfather's order and that Zhai Zhong had failed a minister's duty; by these two cases he defined the proper relation of subject to ruler, and his reading won wide acceptance.
