He was known for his profound knowledge of the Classics and his ability to interpret them in a way that made them accessible to ordinary people.

The Book of Changes is an ancient Chinese divination text and is one of the Five Classics. It consists of 64 hexagrams and their corresponding commentaries. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part contains brief descriptions of each hexagram; the second part includes longer commentaries on how each hexagram relates to other aspects of life.
三、郑玄对《易经》的解读
Zheng Xuan's interpretation of the I Ching was highly regarded by later scholars because he sought to make it understandable for everyone, regardless of their social status or level of education. He believed that understanding oneself and others through observation and reflection could help individuals achieve harmony with nature and society.
四、《易经》中的神话传说与象征意义分析
In addition to its philosophical significance, The Book Of Changes also contains many myths about gods, spirits, animals etc., which provide clues about early Chinese religious beliefs as well as cultural values such as respect for ancestors and reverence for natural phenomena like waterfalls or mountains.
For example:
The Qian Hexagram represents creativity & potentiality
The Kun Hexagram represents receptivity & nurturing
The Kan Hexagram represents water & danger
The Li Hexagram represents fire & light
These symbols can be seen not just as physical elements but also metaphors representing abstract concepts like wisdom (Qian), compassion (Kun) etc., reflecting a deep connection between human experience & nature in ancient China culture.
