The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the realm of secular affairs, Yixing gained prominence for his reforms to the imperial calendar and his construction of a celestial globe featuring a liquid-driven escapement, the first in a long tradition of Chinese astronomical clockworks.
- Within Buddhist circles, he is particularly remembered for his contributions to the translation of the Mahāvairocana-sūtra and for authoring the authoritative commentary on that scripture, the Darijing shu 大日經疏.
- Due to his significant activities in both religious and secular spheres, a legendary portrayal of Yixing as a master astrologer and practitioner of astral magic developed during the late Tang period, leading to the attribution of several astrological works to him.
