濟世以所撰大學注、中庸疏進上，略言：「大學注中，九卿、科道所議諷刺三語，臣已改刪，惟分章釋義，遵古本不遵程、硃，習舉業者有成規，講道學者無厲禁。 Jishi presented his commentary on the Great Learning and his exegesis of the Doctrine of the Mean, stating briefly, "In the Great Learning commentary, the three satirical phrases deliberated by the Nine Chief Ministers and censors I have already revised and deleted. Only in dividing chapters and explaining meaning I follow the ancient text rather than Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi. Those studying for examinations have fixed rules; those lecturing on the Way face no strict prohibition.

眉士故尚蘇軾學，昌裔取諸經為之講說，祠周惇頤及顥、頤、載、熹，揭《白鹿洞學規》，仿潭州釋奠儀，簿正祭器，士習丕變。 The scholars of Meizhou had long favored Su Shi's school of learning. Changyi lectured on the classics instead, erected shrines to Zhou Dunyi and to Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, and Zhu Xi, posted the White Deer Grotto Academy regulations, imitated the Tanzhou libation ceremony, put the ritual vessels in proper order on the register, and scholarly practice was thoroughly transformed.
