Although Hsiung Shih-li is not renowned for textual research and explanation of ancient books, his commentanes on apocrypha in Ch'ien K'un Yen takes almost half of the book, which is comparable to Guang-yi. Because of this fact, we can see his particular attention to the study of apocrypha. In Ch'ien K'un Yen, Hsiung first traces the origin, implying that Confucius wrote Chou I based on Fu Xi and Bagua (eight trigrams). He considers that Confucius's thoughts, inheriting the intellectual heritage of those saints from ancient times, represent a generalization of great ideas to develop the theory of inner sublimation and practical theory. Hsiung then regards Confucius as a model and praises Chou I for its integration of all studies. He believes that hundred schools after the late Chou dynasty (including those masters of Song and Ming dynasties and also of Buddhism) must converge on Confucius. Although such a thought is mostly a subjective judgment, it does not come without any proof. Although Hsiung may be blamed for some minor flaws in the textual research, he has a firm hold of the main ideas. Thus, to study Hsiung's Yi-ology, one should acknowledge the efforts the author devotes to studies and to initiate a dialogue with him, so as to grasp the essence of his work.
