Chen studied Confucianism when he was young. At first, he was a rural student. Later, because he failed in his official career, he abandoned his career and studied cardiology.

He explored the mystery of classics and learned from other schools. Through clinical practice, he was good at summing up and liked to write books to benefit later generations. The abundance of his works should be regarded as the outstanding one in the middle of Zhejiang Province.

Influence of later generations

In dialectical ice mirror, Chen described diabetes as "getting food will reduce thirst, especially hunger." It provides the literature support for the contemporary scholars to find the blood glucose curve under the protection of grain. This is a record of clinical experience in ancient China about the protective effect of carbohydrates on islet function.
