The Buddha statue of Zhang Gong's ancestor.

Father Zhang Gong, common name Zhang 73, was thirty-seven years old. Song Zhezong (Zhao Xu) and Yuan You (A.D. 1086- 1094) became Buddhists in Wang Chun, Dehua, Fujian (now Yangchun Village, Wushan Township, Datian County).

Because of its full body, limbs and head, it was later called "the ancestor of six manifestations". In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty (ancestor Kublai Khan), that is, A.D. 1292, the local Lin clan prayed for blessings, and the village persuaded Xianlin and others to call on every household to donate money. The auspicious day was chosen on the first day of Renchen Year (A.D.1May 292).
