In the seventh year of Tomorrow Shun (1463), he was granted the title of "Zhongshusheren", a cabinet-level imperial office to handle affairs. In the 21st year of Chenghua (1485), he was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank official doctor. In the fourth year of Hongzhi (1491), he was promoted to the fourth rank of Taipusi Shaoqing by copying the "Records of Xuanzong". His calligraphy was not only famous in China at that time, but also enjoyed a high reputation in Japan. According to He Qiaolin's "Famous Mountain Collection", the gate of Japan is 13 feet high.

Later, he noticed the edge in Bo Teng that Shen Du did not have and determined that the book was written by Jiang Ligang.
