Summary:Lectures and essays on culture, politics, literature and eminent persons, written by scholars from Shanxi Province, dating from Tang Yu through the Ming Dynasty.

Later he retired to his home, studied, lectured on Neo-Confucianism, and wrote a number of works. He was a follower of Xin Quan, a Neo-Confucian scholar.
