Zhu Xi wrote "lnvestigation of Discrepancies in the Cantong qi" in his late years under the name "Zou Xin." Though having the title "investigation of discrepancies," it is not a work of textual revisions but more like a work of commentaries.Zhu Xi's "investigation of discrepancies" was based on Peng Xaio's "True Meaning of the Cantong qi", and the commentaries showed Zhu's own characteristics and contributions. Regarding the commentaries on internal alchemy and external alchemy, Zhu was not interested in the latter, and his attention to the former was also only because of its emphasis on "mind" and transformation from the training of internal alchemy to the cultivation of self.Furthermore, the focus of Zhu's investigation of discrepancies was his interpretation informed by the doctrine of yi (change). He reinforced the link between "Zhou yi and Canfong qi" and utilized Jingfang doctrine of yi and Xiantian doctrine of Yi as the means to understand "Canlong qi". Originally more about alchemy than about the doctrine of yi, "Cantong qi" was interpreted by Zhu Xi through the Confucian doctrine of yi and became a theory of self-cultivation based on the doctrine of yi. In this way, Zhu Xi pointed out that "lnvestigation of Discrepancies" in "the Cantong qi" was not about alchemy and divinization but a work to re-canonize Taoism by means of the Confucian doctrine of yi.
