Story:
During the Song Dynasty, Cheng Hao, a philosopher from Luoyang, advocated the concept of "maintaining reverence and sincerity." While ostensibly promoting Confucian ideals, he actually integrated elements from Buddhism and Daoism.
After his death, Wen Yanbo inscribed his tombstone with "Tomb of Master Mingdao."
His disciple, Xie Xiantong, described Cheng Hao's demeanor: "Master Mingdao would sit all day long, seemingly like a clay figure, but when he received guests, he was a picture of perfect harmony."
