Taken from "Portrait Biography of Qing Dynasty Scholars"
Chen Shouqi was a representative scholar in the Jiadao period, erudite and talented, with high academic attainments, and rich writings in classics, primary schools, ancient Chinese and rhetoric, etc. He adhered to the principle of eclecticism and attention to reality, not only adopted the Han and Song dynasties, but also learned modern and ancient scriptures, and widely absorbed the academic strengths of various schools, but also studied the study of "applying it to the world", forming an academic style characterized by "concurrent" and "practical". During the period when Chen Shouqi presided over the Aofeng Academy, he created a group of outstanding talents such as Lin Zexu, Zhang Jiliang, and Lin Changyi with useful learning, so that Fujian academics changed from the past Cheng Zhu Lixue to the situation of simultaneous development of all studies in the Jiadao period, and made the study of ancient and modern literature and classics and the study of the world be carried out in Fujian Province. For the Fujian academic circles on the eve of social change, Chen Shouqi's efforts have made the necessary spiritual preparations for the transformation of the province's academic transformation to the modern direction.
