When Han Yu was banished to Chaozhou, his fourth daughter, Na, died on the road at the age of twelve and was buried below Mount Shangnan. When he later became the Prefect of the Capital, he returned her remains to the Han family tomb in Heyang and wrote an epitaph saying: 'Yu was a Junior Minister of Justice. I stated that the Buddha was a barbarian ghost whose teachings disordered governance; Emperor Wu of Liang served him and ultimately met with defeat at the hands of Hou Jing. He could be swept away at once so as to not let him spread rampant. The Son of Heaven regarded my words as inauspicious and banished me to the land of Jieyang in the South Sea.'
