Shaoshan Huanpu
Shaoshan Huanpu
Dates uncertain
Shaoshan Huanpu (韶山寰普, fl. mid-9th c.) is recorded in the *Jǐngdé Chuándēng Lù* as a Dharma heir of Jiashan Shanhui who taught at Mount Shao in modern Hunan in the late ninth century[1]. The surviving record places him within the Yaoshan / Jiashan stream but preserves only a handful of his individual exchanges; modern scholarship treats him as one of the many mid-ranking Tang teachers whose role was lineage maintenance in their local region rather than the production of canonical koan material[2].

Shàoshān Huānpǔ is documented in Andy Ferguson's authoritative survey of Chan masters and their teachings as a link in the Caodong transmission chain; Ferguson draws on Song-dynasty lamp records (denglu) for the lineage context.
