Zhuangzi comment
He wrote one of the most important older Zhuangzi commentaries, the sub-commentary (shu 疏), which is valuable because of its concise explanations and new phonetic glosses. The notes represent an expansion and verification of Guo Xiang's comment - with which the text was always transmitted together. The commentary is contained in the Daoist canon .
