桂星少從同縣吳定學，後師姚鼐，詩古文並有法，著有進奉文及詩集，又嘗用司空圖說輯唐詩品。 As a young man Guixing studied under his fellow townsman Wu Ding and later studied under Yao Nai. Both his poetry and his ancient-style prose were accomplished by rule. He wrote memorial essays for presentation at court and a poetry collection, and he once compiled grades of Tang poetry according to Sikong Tu's critical theory.
