Jigong (1130-1209), formerly known as Li Xiuyuan, was a monk in the Southern Song Dynasty and a native of Yongning Village, Taishan. He is a broken hat, a broken fan, a broken shoe and a dirty dress. He seems to be crazy. He first became a monk in Lingyin Temple, then lived in Jingci Temple. Uncontrolled by precepts, he likes wine and meat, and behaves like a crazy monk. He is a learned monk who is good at doing good deeds. He is listed as the 50th ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the 6th ancestor of Yangqi School, and he is the author of Quotations from the Peak (volume 10). Knowing medical skills, he cured many incurable diseases for the people. He is good at fighting against injustice and killing people to save lives. His virtues such as helping the poor, eliminating violence, promoting good and punishing evil.

Jigong's life is legendary. He is both "bumpy" and "economical". His virtues of helping the poor, eliminating violence, punishing evil and promoting good left a unique and beautiful impression in people's hearts. People miss him and deify him. Deification began with his birth. "The Story of the Western Regions" contains: "The ancient Fangguang Temple of Liang Shi Bridge in Tiantai Mountain, the abbot of 500 arhats, is often known for its vast magical powers." When Jigong was born, it happened that the 17th Luohan in the Luohan Hall of the Treasury Temple (that is, Luohan who descended the dragon) suddenly fell down, so people said that Jigong was reincarnated as Luohan. People look forward to the savior, and society calls for heroes. When people were in urgent need of sages, monks became "living buddhas", and Dao Ji, a mortal, became a deity offering sacrifices in past dynasties. After becoming a Buddha, his honorific title is as long as 28 words: "Great kindness, great compassion, great wisdom, purple gold, arhat, venerable sage, sage", which combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and can be called the ultimate deification. This also shows that Jigong is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people and has become a "living Buddha" in the hearts of the people, reflecting the broad affinity of Jigong's image. Jigong's broken hat, broken fan, broken shoes and dirty clothes seem to be crazy, but in fact he is a learned and virtuous monk, and is listed as the fiftieth ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the sixth ancestor of Yangqijiao. He knows medical skills and has cured many incurable diseases for the people. He once took his book "Garden Book" and went out to collect money to repair the burned temple. He often walks the streets, saving the dead and helping the weak, punishing evil and promoting good. Therefore, in people's eyes, the word "help" also contains the meaning of helping the poor. Daoji is good at Weiqi, likes cricket fighting and writes good poems. Every time he writes a sparse article, the whole city of Lin 'an is scrambling to spread it. He wandered around the mountains and rivers, enjoying himself, traveling everywhere and writing meaningful words. It is unusual to help the public with madness and be honest and clean. There are bamboo slips of contemporary poet and monk and his anthology "Collection of Northern Bamboo Slips" as evidence. Ju Jian is the nephew of Jigong. When visiting Chicheng Mountain, he called a cliff on the mountain "Jishuyan". After the death of Jigong, kiku wrote an inscription for the Fiona Fang stupa in the lake, which was another name of Jigong. As a Zen monk, Jigong wrote 10 volume of peak quotations and many poems. Like Han Shan, Feng Gan and Shide, he was influenced by both Zen and Taoist seclusion. The difference is that he is also a folk ranger, which makes him unique among many Buddhist brothers. This is related to his study in Chicheng Mountain, where he practiced Buddhism and Taoism since childhood, and was influenced by the folk customs of "Taizhou-style car-scrapping".
