In 1615 he compiled the dictionary Zihui字 彙 . The characters in the dictionary were arranged according to a system that was compiled on the basis of the well-known dictionary Shuowen jiezi and comprised 214 instead of 540 radicals . This arrangement was later used in the dictionaries Zhengzitong正字 通 (1625, by Zhang Zilie 张自烈) and taken up in the Kangxi zidian《康熙字典》 (1716).
