Career[edit]
He is best known for his work as the primary editor of the groundbreaking 2008 Linguistic Atlas of Chinese Dialects but has made numerous other significant contributions to Chinese dialectology, with a focus on the Southern Wu varieties in and around his native Jinhua. Despite his focus, his works exhibit an all around thorough and in-depth understanding of all Chinese dialect families and contemporary linguistics and is widely regarded in the field as one of China's leading authorities on Chinese dialectology.[citation needed]
