Throughout his life as a scholar, Li Zhuan wrote commentaries, guides, annotations, etc., to a number of ancient texts, including the Yijing, Book of Documents, Mao Commentary, Etiquette and Ceremonial, Book of Rites, Rites of Zhou, Zuo Zhuan, and Taixuan Zhigui (太玄指歸). His writings followed the styles of Jia Kui and Ma Rong rather than that of Zheng Xuan. Although he had never met his contemporary Wang Su before, his works and interpretations of Confucianism turned out to be similar to Wang Su's.(著古文《易》、《尚書》、《毛詩》、《三禮》、《左氏傳》、《太玄指歸》，皆依準賈、馬，異於鄭玄。與王氏殊隔，初不見其所述，而意歸多同。) Sanguozhi vol. 42. He died in the middle of the Jingyao era (258–263) of Liu Shan's reign.(景耀中卒。) Sanguozhi vol. 42.
