1) 麤人 [cu ren]—The immature man of Hīnayāna, who has a rough foundation, in contrast with the mature or refined 細人 [xi ren] man of Mahayana. Tiantai applied 麤 [cu] to the 藏 [cang], 通 [tong], and 別 [bie] schools, reserving 細 [xi] for the 圓 [yuan] school.
2) 麁人 [cu ren]—The immature man of Hīnayāna, who has a rough foundation, in contrast with the mature or refined 細人 [xi ren] man of Mahayana. Tiantai applied 麤 [cu] to the 藏 [cang], 通 [tong], and 別 [bie] schools, reserving 細 [xi] for the 圓 [yuan] school.

麤人 [cu ren]—Rough Person—[Terminology (術語 [shu yu])] A practitioner (行人 [xing ren]) of the Lesser Vehicle (小乘 [xiao cheng]) is called a "rough person," while a practitioner (行者 [xing zhe]) of the Greater Vehicle (大乘 [da cheng]) is called a "subtle person" (細人 [xi ren]). Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa (智度論 [zhi du lun]), fascicle 39, states: "In the Śrāvaka Dharma (聲聞法 [sheng wen fa]), the ten unwholesome paths (十不善道 [shi bu shan dao]) constitute sinful karma (罪業 [zui ye]); in Mahayana (摩訶衍 [mo he yan]), seeing actions performed by body, speech, and mind (身口意 [shen kou yi]) is considered sin. This is because the doer and the seer are all false and delusive (虛誑 [xu kuang]). Thus, rough persons have coarse sins (麤罪 [cu zui]), and subtle persons have subtle sins (細罪 [xi zui])." In the Tiantai (天台 [tian tai]) school's classification of teachings (教判 [jiao pan]), the terms "rough person" and "subtle person" are borrowed. Among the Four Teachings (四教 [si jiao]), those who adhere to the three teachings of Tripitaka, Pervasive, and Distinct (藏通別 [cang tong bie]) are considered rough persons, while those who adhere to the Perfect Teaching (圓教 [yuan jiao]) are considered subtle persons. Shi Qian (釋籤 [shi qian]), fascicle 1, states: "Both subtle persons and rough persons commit errors (犯過 [fan guo]), and from the perspective of their errors, both are called 'both rough people' (俱 [ju])."
麤人—【術語】小乘之行人為麤人，大乘之行者為細人。智度論三十九曰：「聲聞法中十不善道是為罪業，摩訶衍中見有身口意所作是為罪。作者見者皆是虛誑故。麤人則麤罪，細人則細罪。」天台之教判上借之有麤人細人之目，四教之中，奉藏通別之三教者為麤人，奉圓教者為細人。釋籤一曰：「細人麤人二俱犯過，從過邊說為俱麤人。」

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan.
