He studied under Ma Jung, and became renowned for his extensive learning. He was the only high Minister of State who ventured to resist the arbitrary measures of Tung Cho and his scheme to depose the Emperor. He was threatened with death, but in consequence of the intercession of Ts'ai Tung suffered only dismissal, after which he retired to a hermitage in Chihli. He gave directions that he should be buried without a cof- fin, saying that his mortal fAme could not too soon be resolved into its elements.
