In 1571 he served as a reader for the palace examination.[10] He was subsequently forced out by the powerful minister Gao Gong and returned home, building a retreat beside the Luo waters, where he occupied himself with the classics and histories.[11]

He died in 1582, the tenth year of the Wanli reign. He was posthumously granted the title Taibao; his posthumous title was Wenzhong, later changed to Wenzhuang, and he was buried south of Fenghuang Mountain, east of Dangjiazhuang.[12]
