paragraph: Saint Senara

paragraph: Saint Senara is a legendary Cornish saint with links to the village of Zennor on the north coast of Cornwall

paragraph: , UK. The Church of Saint Senara, Zennor is dedicated to her; the village, nearby headland Zennor Head, and the neolithic tomb Zennor Quoit received her name indirectly.

paragraph: Section::::Historical records.

paragraph: According to scholar Nicholas Orme, a Saint Sinar of Zennor was first recorded in 1170 as a male saint ("Sanctus Sinar"), but from 1235 onwards as a female one ("Sancta Sinara"). Orme states that unless she can be identified with Azenor, the mother of Saint Budoc in Breton legends, nothing else is recorded about her. He also points out the similarity to Saint Senan, commemorated at nearby Sennen.

paragraph: Section::::Legend.

paragraph: Senara was reputedly a Breton princess of Brest originally named Asenora, a woman described as having a "rather dubious reputation" before her conversion. She was married to a Breton king who wrongly accused her of adultery and threw her into the sea in a barrel while pregnant. She was visited by an angel, whilst floating in the sea off the westernmost end of Cornwall, and gave birth to a son in the waves, who later became Saint Budoc or an Irish bishop. She was washed up on the Cornish coast, and some believe she founded Zennor and gave her name to the eponymous village (and subsequently Zennor Head, Zennor Quoit and Porthzennor Cove), before continuing to Ireland.

paragraph: Due to the striking similarity, the legend's origins possibly lie in Greek mythology and the story of Danaë who was also cast to sea with her son Perseus in a wooden box.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Senara was highly venerated by local fishermen and is said to represent the dual nature of Christ (human and divine). Medieval folk regarded her as a symbol of lust and a warning against the sins of the flesh due to her story of purported adultery and subsequent conversion. She gives her name to St Senara's Church in Zennor and it contains the Mermaid Chair, an ancient chair with carvings of fish on the seat and a pew end with a depiction of the mermaid admiring herself in a mirror, which is believed to be at least 600 years old. A statue of St Senara lies in an enclosed garden next to the church.

paragraph: Section::::Modern adaptations.

paragraph: Senara is the subject of a book and linked to the Mermaid of Zennor by Sue Monk Kidd, "The Mermaid Chair", which was adapted into a movie in 2006.

paragraph: Antiochus Nikator

paragraph: Antiochus I Nikator of Bactria (Greek: ; epithet means "Victorious") was possibly a Graeco-Bactrian king of the dynasty of Diodotus I, who ruled for some period between 240 - 220 BCE. His existence is controversial.

paragraph: Section::::A Seleucid king or a Bactrian namesake?

paragraph: Several Bactrian coins from the time of Diodotus I are struck with the legend ""Of King Antiochus"," though the portraits resemble those of Diodotos I and the reverse is the same as on other Diodotid coins: Zeus hurling a thunderbolt, with an eagle on the side.

paragraph: These coins have often been interpreted as semi-independent issues of the first Bactrian king Diodotus I, who during the early stages of his liberation from the Seleucid empire used the name of his former overlord, the Seleucid king Antiochus II, but used his own portrait.

paragraph: However, another possibility would be that they were struck by a Bactrian king who himself was called Antiochos. This king might have been a brother or a younger son of Diodotos I, ruling either as a co-regent or after the death of the first Diodotos' successor and son Diodotus II. Numismatic and circumstantial evidence for this idea was published in 2010 by Jakobsson. The ancient sources are ambiguous: they mention no king between Diodotus II and Euthydemus I, but do not exclude the possibility.

paragraph: The later Bactrian king Agathocles honoured earlier rulers of Bactria on commemorative coins. Some of these honour a king Antiochos similar to the aforementioned series. On these commemorative coins, Antiochos was given the epithet ""Nikator"" (Victor). Similar coins were issued for Diodotus I, at the same mints, but the portraits for Antiochus Nikator are never identical to those of Diodotus I. Even if the portraits were not lifelike, this may indicate that Nikator was a separate person, and that the coins are not merely reissues of coins with Diodotus' portrait in the name of Antiochus II.

paragraph: Since this epithet was never used by Antiochus II (who was called ""Theos"", (God)), nor by any other Seleucid king named Antiochus, might indicate that Antiochus Nikator was a distinct individual. However, given the practices surrounding the award of epithets to Hellenistic rulers, it may be that Agathocles gave this epithet to one of the various Antiochi in celebration of some victory.

paragraph: No ancient sources mention him. Until further evidence appears, the question of his existence remains unresolved.

paragraph: Wolfgang Gewalt

paragraph: Wolfgang Gewalt (28 October 1928 – 26 April 2007) was a German zoologist, author and former director of the Duisburg Zoo.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: After the study of zoology, botany, chemistry and anthropology, his main focus was research of the great bustard. He recorded his observations in the breeding grounds and his experience with hand bred great bustards in several publications. Moreover, he was chief assistant at the Berlin Zoo. In 1966, he became director of the Duisburg Zoo and landed in the headlines in May 1966 when the white whale Moby Dick strayed into the Rhine. After futile attempts to capture Moby Dick, Wolfgang Gewalt came in for ever more negative criticism. A few newspapers even demanded: "Arrest Wolfgang Gewalt". In June 1966, the whale fortunately succeeded in swimming back to the North Sea. In 1969, Gewalt led an expedition to Canada and brought back the first beluga to Duisburg. For this he reaped angry criticism. In the same year Wolfgang Gewalt participated in the Encyclopedia Grzimeks Tierleben for which he wrote a contribution on Didelphidae. In 1972, he and his colleagues founded the European Association for Aquatic Mammals at the Dolfinarium Harderwijk in the Netherlands. This is a society for the care of aquatic mammals in human custody. In 1975, he brought five Orinoco river dolphins or toninas back to Duisburg from an expedition to Venezuela. In 1978 one of Wolfgang Gewalt's dreams was fulfilled with the birth of the first bottlenose dolphin in a German Zoo. In 1993, Wolfgang Gewalt retired.

paragraph: On April 26, 2007 he died from the consequences of an accident in his home.

paragraph: Jimmy Constable

paragraph: James Michael Constable (born 21 September 1971 in Toxteth, Liverpool, England) is an English pop singer and dancer. He is the oldest member of the pop band 911.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Constable was born in the Liverpool Maternity Hospital (now Liverpool Women's Hospital) in Toxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside to parents Margaret and James "Jimmy" Matthews.

paragraph: He is a fan of Liverpool F.C..

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:1990s: "The Hit Man and Her".

paragraph: Constable began his career in the early 1990s as a dancer on the late-night ITV dance music show "The Hit Man and Her".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:1995–2000: 911.

paragraph: Whilst on the show, Constable met Simon "Spike" Dawbarn and Jason Orange. Having seen how successful the latter went on to become with his band Take That, Constable and Dawbarn (who had become even more popular than the acts they were dancing for) decided to put their own band together, and 911 was born. Lee Brennan, who was a fan of both the boys and "The Hit Man and Her", agreed to join Constable and Dawbarn and they became a trio.

paragraph: 911 spent several months building up a fanbase from scratch, performing gigs in schools and small public venues. After independently releasing two singles which both made the UK top 40, "Night to Remember" and "Love Sensation", 911 were signed up by Virgin Records after a major label bidding war.

paragraph: 911 were extremely successful, selling over 10 million singles and six million albums worldwide before splitting up in 2000. Constable was the one who announced the split live on Radio 1. In a 2005 interview with "The Guardian", Constable: "I didn't have any time to get my head around it. I had a lump in my throat saying it, then we came out of Radio 1 and the other two guys went to the pub. I got in my car and took off and I never saw them for two years."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Post-split.

paragraph: After the band split, Constable turned to drink and drugs, admitting "I found myself in my old single bed with a bottle of Jack Daniel's and a bottle of pain killers and thought about ending it there and then. The only thing that stopped me was thinking about the devastation it would cause for my family."

paragraph: 2006 saw Constable return to the music industry by taking part in the MTV series "Totally Boyband". The series followed ex-members of other boy bands forming into a new band. The new band was called Upper Street, yet their first single was a commercial failure, charting at number 35 on the UK Singles Chart. The band quickly disbanded, with the whole project deemed a disaster. On 28 August 2007, he appeared on the BBC Two game show "Identity", billed as an 'ex boyband member'.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2012–present: "The Big Reunion" and 911 comeback.

paragraph: On 18 October 2012, it was announced that 911, along with B*Witched, Five, Atomic Kitten, Honeyz and Liberty X, would be reuniting again for the ITV2 documentary series "The Big Reunion".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Jimmy was previously in a nine-year relationship with his girlfriend Bernadette Robertson, whom he met in 1985. He proposed to her in 1988 and four years later she gave birth to their son, Scott. In 1994, Jimmy left Bernadette in order to move to Glasgow, Scotland and focus on his music career with 911, although he did agree to give her away at her next wedding. Jimmy currently lives in Cambridgeshire with his wife Claire and two other children, Taylor and Ellie, whilst Scott lives with Bernadette in Runcorn. On 7 June 2013, he appeared on "The Jeremy Kyle Show" to talk about the issues that almost destroyed his life. He has admitted that has always been a huge fan of, and would love to go on, "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Wesleyan Methodist Church of Hosford.

paragraph: In 1901, Robert Flournoy Hosford oversaw the construction of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Hosford. It was built with the lumber from Truman Edward Thomas' sawmill, which was the same sawmill that built the Grave Brothers Mill in Hosford. The wood used to construct the church include heart pine as well as cypress. In addition, there is a 19th Century bell in the bell tower. The church was originally the Hosford Methodist Episcopal Church South and later became the Hosford Wesleyan Methodist Church. The last service was held in the church in 1991. While it was maintained for many years, the church eventually fell into disrepair. Then in the early 2000's, the Florida historic preservation society awarded a $400,000 grant that was used to restore the church. The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Hosford is the oldest standing structure in Liberty County, Florida. The Liberty County Board of Commissioners currently has a 99-year lease on the church and the church is used for public purposes.

paragraph: Vigraharaja IV

paragraph: Find spots of inscriptions of Vigraharaja IV" width="300" height="400" zoom="5" longitude="75.65" latitude="27.29"

paragraph: /mapframe

paragraph: Vigraharāja IV (r. c. 1150-1164 CE), also known as Visaladeva, was a Chahamana king of north-western India. He turned the Chahamana kingdom into an empire by subduing nearly all the neighbouring kings. His kingdom included major parts of present-day Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi; and possibly some parts of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

paragraph: Vigraharaja commissioned several buildings in his capital Ajayameru (modern Ajmer), most of which were destroyed or converted to Muslim structures after the Muslim conquest of Ajmer. These include a Sanskrit centre of learning that was later converted into the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra mosque. "Harakeli Nataka", a Sanskrit-language drama written by him, is inscribed on inscriptions discovered at the mosque site.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Vigraharaja was born to the Chahamana king Arnoraja. Vigraharaja's elder brother and predecessor Jagaddeva killed their father. Their half-brother, Someshvara, was brought up in Gujarat by his Chaulukya maternal relatives. Vigraharaja probably ascended the throne after killing Jaggaddeva to avenge their father's death.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: The 1164 CE Delhi-Shivalik pillar inscription states that Vigraharaja conquered the region between the Himalayas and the Vindhyas. The Himalayas and the Vindhyas form the traditional boundary of Aryavarta (the land of ancient Aryans), and Vigraharaja claimed to have restored the rule of Aryans in this land. While his claim of having conquered the entire land between these two mountains is an exaggeration, it is not completely baseless. His Delhi-Shivalik pillar inscription was found at Topra village in Haryana, near the Shivalik Hills. This indicates that Vigraharaja captured territories to the north of Delhi, up to the Himalayan foothills. Raviprabha's "Dharmaghosha-Suri-Stuti" states that the ruler of Malwa and Arisiha (possibly Arisimha of Mewar) assisted him in hoisting a flag at the Rajavihara Jain temple in Ajmer. The ruler of Malwa here probably refers to a claimant to the Paramara kingdom, which had been captured by the Chaulukyas during this period. Assuming that the claimant to the Malwa throne had accepted Vigraharaja's suzerainty, it appears that Vigraharaja's influence extended up to the Vindhyas, at least in name.

paragraph: His kingdom included the present-day Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. It probably also included a part of Punjab (to the south-east of Sutlej river) and a portion of the northern Gangetic plain (to the west of Yamuna).

paragraph: The play "Lalita-Vigraharaja-Nataka", composed by Vigraharaja's court poet, claims that his army included 1 million men; 100,000 horses; and 1,000 elephants.

paragraph: Vigraharaja's father Arnoraja had suffered a humiliating at the hands of Kumarapala, the Chaulukya king of Gujarat. Vigraharaja launched several expeditions against the Chaulukyas to avenge his father's defeat.

paragraph: According to the Bijolia rock inscription, he killed one Sajjana. The inscription describes Sajjana as "the most wicked person of the land", who was sent to the abode of Yama (the god of death) by Vigraharaja. Historian Dasharatha Sharma identified Sajjana with Kumarapala's governor ("daṇḍāhiśa") of Chittor. According to the Jain author Somatilaka Suri, Vigraharaja's army captured Sajjana's elephant force. While Vigraharaja was busy fighting at Chittor, Kumarapala tried to create a diversion by besieging Nagor, but lifted the siege after learning about Vigraharaja's victory at Chittor.

paragraph: A Chahamana "prashasti" (eulogy) boasts that Vigraharaja reduced Kumarapala to a "karavalapala" (probably the designation of a subordinate officer). This is obviously an exaggeration, but it does appear that Vigraharaja conquered some of Kumarapala's territories. The earliest Chahamana inscriptions from the Bijolia-Jahazpur-Mandalgarh area are dated to Vigraharaja's reign.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Chaulukyas of Gujarat.:Chahamanas of Naddula.

paragraph: Vigraharaja subdued the Chahamanas of Naddula, who had branched off from the Shakambhari Chahamana dynasty, and were feudatories of the Chaulukya king Kumarapala. The Bijolia inscription boasts that he turned Javalipura (modern Jalore) into "Jvalapura" (city of flames); reduced Pallika (modern Pali) to a "palli" (a hamlet); and made Naddula (modern Nadol) a "nadvala" (a cane-stick or a marsh of reeds). The Naddula ruler subdued by him was probably Alhanadeva.

paragraph: Vigraharaja also defeated one Kuntapala, who can be identified with a Naddula Chahamana subordinate of Kumarapala.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Tomaras of Delhi.

paragraph: The Bijolia rock inscription states that Vigraharaja conquered Ashika (identified with Hansi) and Delhi. The Chahamanas had been involved in conflicts with the Tomaras of Delhi since the time of his ancestor Chandanaraja. Vigraharaja put an end to this long conflict by decisively defeating the Tomaras, who had grown weak under attacks from the Chahamanas, the Gahadavalas and the Muslims. The Tomaras continued to rule for a few more decades, but as vassals of the Chahamanas.

paragraph: An old "bahi" (manuscript) states that Visaladeva i.e. Vigraharaja captured Delhi from Tamvars (Tomaras) in the year 1152 CE (1209 VS). According to historian R. B. Singh, Hansi might have been under Muslim control by this time. On the other hand, Dasharatha Sharma theorizes that the Tomaras had recaptured Hansi from Ghaznavids by this time, and Vigraharaja captured it from the Tomaras.

paragraph: The legendary epic poem "Prithviraj Raso" states that the later Chahamana king Prithviraja III married the daughter of the Tomara king Anangapala, and was bequeauthed Delhi by the Tomara king. Historian R. B. Singh speculates that it was actually Vigraharaja, who married the daughter of the Tomara king. According to Singh, Desaladevi, who has been mentioned in the play "Lalita-Vigraharaja-Nataka" as Vigraharaja's lover, might have been the daughter of a Tomara king named Vasantapala.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Turushkas.

paragraph: Several sources indicate that Vigraharaja achieved military successes against the Turushkas, the Muslim Turkic invaders. The Delhi-Shivalik pillar inscription boasts that he destroyed the mlechchhas (foreigners), and once again made Aryavarta ("the land of Aryans") what its name signifies. The "Prabandha-Kosha" describes him as "the conqueror of Muslims". The Muslim invaders forced to retreat by him were probably the Ghaznavid rulers Bahram Shah and Khusrau-Shah.

paragraph: The plot of "Lalita Vigraharaja Nataka" involves Vigraharaja's preparations against a Turushka ruler named Hammira (Emir). In the story, his minister Shridhara tells him not to risk a battle with a powerful adversary. Nevertheless, Vigraharaja is determined to fight the Turushka king. He sends a message to his lover Desaladevi, informing her that the upcoming battle would soon give him an opportunity to meet her. The play describes Desaladevi as the daughter of prince Vasantapala of Indrapura. The play is available only in fragments, so the details of the ensuing battle are not known. Historian Dasharatha Sharma identified Hammira with Khusrau Shah, and assumed that Vigraharaja repulsed his invasion.

paragraph: Historian R. B. Singh, on the other hand, theorizes that no actual battle place between Vigraharaja and Hammira. According to Singh's theory, the "Hammira" on the play might have been Bahram Shah, who fled to India after the Ghurids defeated him at the Battle of Ghazni (1151). Bahram Shah invaded the Tomara territory of Delhi after coming to India. Vasantapala might have been a Tomara ruler, possibly Anangapala. Indrapura may refer to Indraprastha, that is, Delhi. Vigraharaja probably decided to send an army in support of the Tomara king. But before an actual battle could take place, Bahram Shah returned to Ghazna as the Ghurids had departed from that city.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Other conquests.

paragraph: According to the Bijolia inscription, Vigraharaja also defeated the Bhadanakas. The "Prithviraja Vijaya" claims that he conquered several hill forts.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural activities.

paragraph: Vigraharaja patronized a number of scholars, and was a poet himself. Jayanaka, in his "Prithviraja-Vijaya", states that when Vigraharaja died, the name "kavi-bandhava" ("the friend of the poets") disappeared.

paragraph: The king commissioned a centre of learning in Ajmer, which was later destroyed by the Ghurid invaders and converted into the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra mosque. Several literary works were engraved on stones at this centre:

paragraph: BULLET::::- The play "Lalita Vigraharaja Nataka" was composed by his court poet Somadeva in his honour. Only fragments of this play were recovered from the mosque.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Fragments of the play "Harikeli Nataka", authored by Vigraharaja himself, were also found inscribed on two slabs at the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra. The play is styled after "Kiratarjuniya", a work by the ancient poet Bharavi.

paragraph: BULLET::::- A Chauhan "prashasti" (eulogy), which is in form of a "kavya" (poem).

paragraph: BULLET::::- A "stuti" (prayer) to various Hindu deities, also in "kavya" form.

paragraph: According to "Prithviraja-Viajaya", Vigraharaja commissioned as many buildings as the hill forts he captured. Most of these appear to have been destroyed or converted to Muslim structures (such as Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra) after the Muslim conquest. He established a number of towns named Visalapura ("the city of Visala") after his alternative name Visala. He is also said to have commissioned a lake named Visalasara (also known as Vislya or Bisalia) in Ajmer. According to "Prithviraj Raso", the king saw a beautiful spot with springs and hills while returning from a hunt. He ordered his chief minister to construct a lake at this spot.

paragraph: He also founded the Vigrahapura town (modern Bisalpur) on the site of an older town called Vanapura. There, he constructed the Gokarnesvara temple, now popularly known as Bisal Deoji's temple.

paragraph: Like his predecessors, Vigraharaja was a devout Shaivite, as indicated by his "Harakeli-Nataka". He also patronzed Jain scholars, and participated in their religious ceremonies. At the request of the Jain religious teacher Dharmaghosha-Suri, he banned animal slaughter on the Ekadashi day.

paragraph: The Bijolia rock inscription describes Vigraharaja as "a protector of the needy and the distressed". He was succeeded by his son Amaragangeya.

paragraph: Giovanni Balducci

paragraph: Giovanni Balducci, called Il Cosci after his maternal uncle, (c. 1560 — after 1630) was an Italian mannerist painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Florence, he was trained by Giovanni Battista Naldini. He worked under the guidance and supervision of Vasari and under and with Federico Zuccari, on the massive, yet generally uninspired, fresco of the "Final Judgment" (1575–1579), on the inside of the Brunelleschi dome of the Duomo in Florence. He also frescoed a "Last Supper" in the church. These paintings, in addition to other transient ornamented arches and banners, were part of decorations developed to celebrate the wedding of Ferdinand I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany to Christina of Lorraine. During this time, Balducci also painted an altarpiece of the "Mystical Marriage of St Catherine" for the church of Sant'Agostino in San Gimignano.

paragraph: From 1577-1580, he aided Naldini in the fresco decoration of the Altoviti Chapel in the church of Trinità dei Monti in Rome. He returned to Florence, to assist Alessandro Allori in the also uninspired decoration of Vasari's Gallery for the Uffizi. Under the patronage of Cardinal Alessandro de' Medici, who later became the short-lived Pope Leo XI, Balducci was engaged from 1588-1590, in painting a cycle of frescoes depicting scenes from the "Life of Christ" for the Oratorio di Gesù Pellegrino, located in Via San Gallo of Florence. From 1590-1591, he worked with Naldini in the decoration of Volterra Cathedral, painting in the Serguidi chapel a "Miracle of Loaves and Fish".

paragraph: By 1600, Balducci had moved to Naples where he painted altarpieces of "St Dominic dispense the Rosary" and "St Peter Martyr" for the church of Santa Maria della Sanità. He painted the "Pardon of Carlo Gesualdo" (1609) now in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Gesualdo in the province of Avellino. He painted a number of frescoes in the cloister of Santa Maria del Carmine. He also frescoed ceilings for the church of the Annunziata in Maddaloni in Campania. He died in Naples.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Wang was born with his birth name as "Zhongfu" in a wealthy family in 1113. He was educated in Chinese classics and martial arts.

paragraph: Wang intended to start a rebellion against the Jurchen Jin dynasty, which conquered northern China in the Jin–Song Wars. According to tradition, in the summer of 1159 when he was 48, he met three Taoist immortals in a tavern, Zhongli Quan, Lü Dongbin, and Liu Haichan. They trained him in secret forms of Taoism. He changed his name to "Zhe" and adopted the Taoist name "Chongyang".

paragraph: In 1160, Wang met one of the immortals again and was provided with a set of written instructions called "Ganshui Xianyuan Lu". Those written instructions included the names of two men who would later become his disciples (Ma Yu and Tan Chuduan). Wang built a tomb for himself near Mount Zhongnan and called it "Tomb of the Living Dead". He lived in it for three years.

paragraph: At the end of the three years, Wang filled the tomb with earth and built a hut on top of it and called it "Complete Perfection Hut". He spent the next four years in the hut studying Taoism and imparting his knowledge to others. During that time, he met Tan Chuduan, who became his disciple after he cured Tan from illness. Qiu Chuji and Tan traveled around the local towns and villages with Wang and founded five Taoist congregations. Wang's teachings were referred to the "Teachings of the Complete Perfection" (after the hut) and his branch of Taoism became known as the Quanzhen School.

paragraph: In 1167, Wang burnt down the hut and travelled east to Shandong, where he met Ma Yu and Ma's wife, Sun Bu'er. They became his disciples as well. He accepted a total of seven disciples who later became known as "Seven Masters of Quanzhen" or "Seven Elders of Quanzhen". They are also called the "Seven Immortals" or "Seven Perfected Beings".

paragraph: In 1187, Emperor Shizong of Jin summoned Wang's disciple Wang Chuyi (and, according to some sources, also Qiu Chuji) to preach in his inner palace. Later, he requested the presence of Wang Chuyi at his deathbed. Shizong's successor, Emperor Zhangzong, banned the teaching of Quanzhen Taoism. He considered them as causing heretical and detrimental to society;He converted to Quanzhen's teachings later and let Wang Chuyi stay in Yanjing (present-day Beijing) for a year. Shizong's grandson Wanyan Shou later wrote a biography for Wang Chongyang.
