Huang Kan's academic pursuits traced back to the Han and Tang dynasties while inheriting the Qian-Jia school of thought.

This book focuses on selected recollections and studies that offer deep insights into Huang Kan's life and scholarship, serving as a sequel to Liangshou Xue Ji. The authors are mostly Huang Kan's relatives, disciples, and inheritors of the Zhang-Huang school, with an additional three excerpts of Huang Kan's academic maxims. This book will greatly benefit today's readers in understanding the rigorous and dedicated spirit of classical scholarship, as well as in recognizing Huang Kan's character and scholarly approach.
