He wore a bun, but no one knew who he was from, yet he had no name. A hermit on Wudang Mountain during the Ming Dynasty. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Great Mountain Taihe Mountain Annals", Fan secluded himself in Wudang during the Ming Dynasty, wearing only a tattered single garment regardless of the season. All food and drink contain no salt. The place where one lives is just a small cave. He was seen to be thin and clear-headed, with bright and piercing eyes. The speech is full of Confucian language. His whereabouts are unknown. The name "Fan Liao Ji" might have originated from the fact that people at that time saw that he had a bun on his head in the shape of a "liao", and as they did not know his name, they used "Liao Ji" as a metaphor for him.
