Other points of interest
The Sìchuān cluster of Zhàngxuě Tōngzuì’s heirs appears in J38 in close succession — KR6q0544 (Chèshēng), KR6q0547 (Défù) — both with abbacy-bases on or near famous Sìchuān Daoist-Buddhist mountains (Qīngchéngshān; Pánlóngshān). The internal lineage-economy is visible in the fǎyǔ section, where Défù addresses each of his five later fǎsì by name.
