希遷 [xi qian]—Xiqian (希迁 [xi qian]) — [Person's Name] Xiqian of Tang (唐 [tang]) Nanyue Shitou Mountain (南嶽石頭山 [nan yue shi tou shan]), a Yue person (粤人 [yue ren]) (surname Chen (陈氏 [chen shi])), heard of the spiritual teachings of Caoxi Sixth Patriarch (曹溪六祖 [cao xi liu zu]) and became his disciple. After the Sixth Patriarch passed away, he received the precepts on Luofu Mountain (罗浮山 [luo fu shan]). Later, he happened to hear that Qingyuan Xingsi (青原行思 [qing yuan xing si]) was teaching at Buxi and returned to follow him. In the early Tianbao period, he went to Nanyue South Temple (南嶽南寺 [nan yue nan si]) and built a hermitage on a large rock east of the temple, whereupon people of the time respectfully called him Shitou Heshang (石头和尚 [shi tou he shang]) (Stone Monk). Many disciples came to follow him. At that time, Jiangxi was led by Mazu (马祖 [ma zu]), and Hunan by Shitou. He passed away at the age of ninety-one, and by imperial decree, he was posthumously granted the title of Master Wuji (无际大师 [wu ji da shi]). See Song Gaoseng Zhuan (宋高僧传 [song gao seng chuan]) Volume 9, Chuandeng Lu (传灯录 [chuan deng lu]) Volume 14, etc.
