Later generations of scholars who passed down the fortune-telling of stars all regarded Xu Zhong as their ancestor. Yu's "Epitaph" says that the deepest Five Elements Book, based on the year, month, day, and direction of a person's birth, the direction of the sun, the branches, the growth, the victory, the decline, and the death, the king and the king will consider each other, and estimate the life span of a person before he is born. However, he said that his words were vast and beautiful, with thousands of threads, but he did not say that he had written a book. "Book of Tang·Yiwenzhi" does not have the name of this book. It is only in "Song Chronicle" that there are two volumes of "The Pattern of Ming Shu" by Li Xuzhong. Zheng Qiao's "Yi Wen Lue" is composed of one volume of "Ming Shu" and one volume of "Ming Shu Supplement" by Li Xuzhong. Chao Gongwu's "Book of Readings" also produced three volumes of "Li Xuzhong's Mingshu".
