| - | Cíháng's mother died when he was 10 ''suì'' 歲, and his father died two years later. Cíháng was then raised by an aunt and uncle. As a young man he learned his uncle's trade, which was the making of monastic robes. During this time he visited many temples, and eventually decided to become a monk. He tonsured under Zìzhōng 自忠 in [[1912]], and then went to Néngrén Temple 能仁寺 in Jiāngxī [[江西]] to receive full ordination the following year.

| - | From [[1912]] to [[1927]], Cíháng visited many famous centers of monastic learning and studied under Dìxián [[諦閑]], Yúanyīng [[圓瑛]], and Èlǎo 厄老.

| - | In September of [[1927]] he became a student at the Mínnán Buddhist Seminary [[閩南佛學院]]. At that time, Tàixū [[太虛]] (the abbot of the overseeing monastery) was often away. Later that winter, a conflict broke out between those running the monastery and one Xuécháo [[學潮]]. Although Cíháng was not part of this fight, he was implicated in Xuécháo's group, and left the seminary voluntarily.

| - | As reported in Welch<ref>Welch, Holmes. ''The Practice of Chinese Buddhism: 1900-1950.'' Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1967. Pp. 343-344.</ref>, Cíháng's body was famously exhumed on May 19, 1959 and when he body was found to be more or less intact, he was mummified according the practices of the Chinese Buddhist tradition.<ref>A slideshow of the mummification process can be viewed [http://km.cca.gov.tw/myphoto/gallery1.asp?action=viewimage&slideshow=on&categoryid=20&imageid=877&box=&shownew= here].</ref>
