He put forward the theory of "the unity of man and nature" and "the divine right of monarch", and advocated the feudal theological system of "the great source of Tao comes from heaven, and heaven remains unchanged, and Tao remains unchanged". He also established the system of "three cardinal guides" and "five permanent members", advocated education as a "dike", established imperial college and established a state of emergency. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was asked to oust hundreds of schools and respect Confucianism alone, which was adopted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and opened up a situation of Confucian orthodoxy for more than two thousand years.

There are 5 townships, 37 administrative villages and 157 natural villages in kinmen county. However, the local people are still accustomed to "township" as a villager, which may be influenced by the old concept of "capital → security → township" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because "township" at that time was the most basic local settlement unit. For example, Gukeng Township, to which 19 Dugu Xianbao belongs, refers to today's natural village Gugang. In the past, Jinmen and Xiamen belonged to Tongan County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and the local dialect can still retain the ancient sound of Minnan dialect. For example, most people pronounce "Xiang" as "Xiang", and the pronunciation of Minnan dialect is the same as the "Xiang" used for sacrifice. There are many temples in Jinmen with high density. There are even several temples in a township. For example, there are seven Chua's temples in Qionglin, four Huang's temples in Xiyuan, four Li's temples in Beishan and three Weng's temples in Panshan. These temples not only represent the distinction between large and small clans, but also represent the prosperity and reproduction of local surname families. Inscriptions on the left and right door panels of Jinmen Family Temple are common in Houpu (Jincheng Town), with the titles "Zude" and "Zonggong", but in Jingsha, it is more common to decorate paintings with door gods. He believes that the door god stands in front of the temple and bears the brunt, occupying a prominent position. Its purpose is nothing more than exorcising evil spirits, welcoming auspicious blessings and making the town hall safe. Visiting many temple buildings in Kinmen, where the folk customs are simple, can make people appreciate the goodness and beauty in life customs at the same time, including all kinds of traditional, solemn, family, artistic and religious things and things.
