He has published essays and translations on ancient Taoism, including Écrits de Maître Guan. Les Quatre traîtés de l'Art de l'esprit (2011) and Les Corps dans le taoïsme ancien (2011). In other works he has approached the visions and uses of the body in Chinese medicine and in the ritualistic school, the condition of the learned staff and the forms of writing himself, as in Une voix pour l'évasion. Tsi K'ang et sa lettre de rupture (2015). He is currently a professor of Chinese studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and co-director of the East Asia Institute at the CNRS.
