It's my translation of a review about a past scholar. I'm not sure whether it's grammatically correct and native speakers can understand it.
Overall, Wu Cheng was mostly under the influence of Zhu Xi. Subjectively,he also appointed himself to continue the study of Zhu Xi school. But Wu Cheng had less sectarian bias, compared to other ordinary Zhu Xi-school scholars during the late Song dynasty and early Yuan dynasty, which was estimable. Wu Cheng absorbed Confucian heritage from Song dynasty comprehensively, synthesized and developed with his own opinion. He had cultural accomplishment in many aspects. In addition to his proficiency in Confucian classics,he also covered a wide range of subjects in astronomy, geography, medicine and divination etc. His poems and essays were delicate,graceful,elegance and magnificent in various styles. Speaking of the extensive knowledge, predecessors believed that only Wu Cheng can compete with Zhu Xi after Zhu Xi’s time.
