Surnamed Han, of Boluo in Huizhou; styled Zuxin, called Shengren, 'the man left over.' He went to Kongyin Daodu (Zongbao Daodu) at Dongguan in Guangzhou, was set on Zhaozhou's 'no,' and after two years, hearing the case of the old woman seen through, broke open; Daodu said 'now you no longer doubt,' and shaved and ordained him at Lushan in the sixth month of 1639, in his twenty-ninth year. Arrested in Nanjing in 1648 with a manuscript recording the fall of the Ming, he became the first literary-inquisition case of the Qing and was banished to Shenyang, where he taught at seven great monasteries with five to seven hundred in the assembly. He died seated on the twenty-seventh of the eleventh month, 1659 (January 1660), aged forty-nine.
