Heir of Yunxi Zhiying, second-generation descendant of Haizhou Yongci. Author of the 聯芳圖 — the lineage chart that runs Gaofeng - Zhongfeng - Qianyan - Wanfeng - Baozang Puchi - Dongming Huichan - Haizhou [Yongci] - Yunxi Ying. That chart is genuine and belongs to HIS branch. Its misuse is the hinge of the whole forgery: because it says 'Haizhou' without a personal name, and because only one Haizhou was known, Longchi and then Tiantong read it as proof that Haizhou PUCI descended from Dongming, and spliced Baozang and Dongming into the other branch. The chart was never wrong; the reading of it was.
