Biography[]

A notable scholar who was a student of Ma Rong along with Lu Zhi, he joined the Old Text School and rivaled He Xiu of the New Text School. Zheng attempted to syncretize both schools, favoring Old Text teachings. Although influential, his teachings were never officially adopted by the government. The Han dynasty was already in decline during his lifetime and collapsed a decade after his death. Both schools did not survive the chaos, but Zheng's conception of Confucianism would be the mainstream interpretation for centuries. He had many students and enjoyed wine. Like Lu Zhi, he disliked court politics.

He died of illness during the Battle of Guandu in c. July 200.
