On June 25th, 763 (the first year of Guangde), Jian Zhen died in Zhao Ti Temple in Tang Dynasty at the age of 76. Japanese people call Jian Zhen "Master Tianping", which means that his achievements are enough to represent the roof of Tianping culture (compared to the peak, the highest achievement).
