Zen master Yunmen (864-949 AD), Zhang Zi, was born in Jiaxing, Suzhou (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang), and was born in Xian Tong in five years (864). He is the founder of Yunmen Zongchan.

Master Yan Wen was born very early. The second volume of the Biography of Monks in Zen Forest said that he was "less educated in his pocket", and the fifteenth volume of Five Lights and Huiyuan said that he was "a young lawyer in the Empty King Temple". ? The description in Song Huizong's Biography of Monks in the Zen Forest is "generous in nature, rich in bones and cheeks, peerless in elite, picturesque in eyes, with eyebrows near and far away", and "five lights meeting the Yuan Dynasty" is also called childhood "sensitive to wisdom, sensitive to knowledge, and intelligent in debating heaven".

As you can see, Yan Wen showed his difference from ordinary people at an early age. As an adult, Yan Wen quit the altar in Piling (present-day Changzhou, Jiangsu Province), and later served as a Zen master, so he was poor in exploring dharma.
