Zhu emphasized poor reading and thought that "the way to learn is not before poor learning, but the key to poverty lies in reading." His disciples collected his instructions and summed up six "Zhu's reading methods", namely, step by step, reading carefully, swimming modestly, observing oneself carefully, working hard, respecting and persisting in one's ambition. These "six articles" are not isolated, but interrelated and organically combined, with internal logic, and are a complete procedure and step of reading, learning and entering the industry.
Step by step includes the principles of acting according to one's ability, consolidation, objectivity, integration with reality and enthusiasm.
It can be said that Zhu Reading Law contains the seeds and factors of these principles, and it is the most systematic reading law in ancient China.

He ranks among the twelve philosophers in Dacheng Hall and is worshipped by Confucianism. Zhu is a student, a disciple of Cheng Er (Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi), and he is also called a school with Cheng Er. Zhu's Neo-Confucianism had a great influence on the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and became the official philosophy of the three generations. He is another person after Confucius in the educational history of China.
