時以諸經舛繆，與同列李愚委學官田敏等，取西京鄭覃所刊石經，雕為印版，流布天下，後進賴之。 Because the classics were full of errors, he and his colleague Li Yu put the academic official Tian Min and others to taking Zheng Tan's stone classics from the Western Capital, cutting printing blocks, and spreading them across the realm—later students owed them a great debt.
