Held office to Lìbù lángzhōng (Director, Bureau of Personnel). Active in the Beijing connoisseurship circle of the early Kāngxī period, exchanging objects and judgments with 孫承澤 (Sūn Chéngzé), Liáng Qīngbiāo 梁清標, and the other great post-1644 collectors. His principal works are the Qī sòng táng jí 七頌堂集 (collected literary works), the Qī sòng táng zhì xiǎo lù 七頌堂識小錄 (KR3j0176) — an early-Qīng connoisseurship bǐjì in 74 entries — and the Qī sòng táng shī huà 七頌堂詩話 (poetic remarks).
