Apply the <Jacobi identity> to an arbitrary $z$:
$$
\bigl(\operatorname{ad}x\operatorname{ad}y-\operatorname{ad}y\operatorname{ad}x\bigr)z
=[x,[y,z]]-[y,[x,z]]=[[x,y],z].
$$
Thus the <Adjoint representation of a Lie algebra> preserves the <Lie bracket>:
$$
\boxed{[\operatorname{ad}x,\operatorname{ad}y]=\operatorname{ad}[x,y].}
$$
