His attested work is the Tāijīn liǎngjiè xuèmài 胎金兩界血脈 (KR6j0749, X59 no. 1074) — a one-fascicle Esoteric xuèmài 血脈 (“blood-line”) lineage-record of the Garbhadhātu and Vajradhātu transmissions, composed (or fùshǔ 付屬, “entrusted”) on Xiántōng 6.8.17 (8 September 865 CE) at the Cíēnsì.

The work parallels 海雲’s Jīn-tāi liǎng-jiè shī-zī xiāng-chéng (KR6j0748) as one of the principal late-Tang dual-maṇḍala lineage records and is an important source for the institutional history of the Tang Esoteric school. Per DILA A001813.
