Other points of interest
KR6q0576 (定冽, 1669+ at Wéishān) and KR6q0589 (his disciple 巨翔, 1691+ at Wéishān) document a continuous LínjìYángqí presence at Mìyìnsì 密印寺 — the historic mother-temple of the Wéiyǎng school — over more than two decades. Jùxiáng’s death at age 34 was unusually early; the manuscript-cluster including 際鋒’s editorial work followed within months.
