He was the 7th Patriarch of the Zhendadao School of Taoism.
As recorded in Volume 8 of Yuanshi · Shizu Ji (History of the Yuan Dynasty · Biography of Emperor Shizu): In the 12th year of the Zhiyuan era (1275), he was ordered by the imperial court to conduct sacrificial rituals to the famous mountains and rivers on the emperor's behalf.

In the 18th year of the Zhiyuan era (1281), together with Zhang Zongyan (the Celestial Master of the Zhengyi School) and Qi Zhicheng (the leader of the Quanzhen School), he experienced the second disaster of Taoist scriptures being burned in the Yuan Dynasty.
He served as the leader of the Zhendadao School for 12 years.
