Wang Chong's academic research was based on Confucianism. However, he was good at breaking through the doctrines of different schools and absorbing new knowledge and creating new theories. His independent spirit of free thought, his mode of “factual judgment”, his style of searching for innovative scholarship, and his ideological proposal of “emphasizing facts and denying exaggeration” work together to form a valuable ideological and cultural spirit.The spread of this spirit is not limited to academic scholars. It also extends beyond the academic circle to the lives of the people and has a lasting guidance on the public cognition, values, codes of conduct, and customs. This is an important feature of Wang Chong that is different from many mainstream academic thinkers of the time.
