A debating machine is a person.

The family background and detailed resume of Debate Machine. In a book called "The Genealogy of All Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times" (Ming Ling Di Zhi), I accidentally found an important record about Debate Machine Monks: "Tang, Debate Machine, Wuren, Princess Gaoyang." The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand, that is, the debating monk in the Tang Dynasty was from Jinhua (Jinhua was called Wuzhou in the early Tang Dynasty), and there was a certain relationship with Princess Gaoyang before his death. This historical data fully supports the anecdotal statement that the debating machine monk is a golden Chinese. This is because after he was convicted, the monk biography did not dare to make a biography for him, and other documents also tried to avoid mentioning his deeds. But according to some sporadic records, we can get a general understanding of his life.

Among Master Xuanzang's first batch of translation assistants, the debating machine was famous for its high talent, extensive knowledge and rich translation industry, and it also helped Xuanzang write a book "The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang". After that, she died of an affair with Princess Gaoyang, the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and was ridiculed as an immoral monk and an evil monk, which was listed in the official history and was criticized by orthodox feudal literati for thousands of years. However, some scholars appreciate the talent of debating machine very much and feel sorry for his early death because of the fatigue of a woman. Therefore, in the history of Buddhism, as well as in the ancient history of China, Debate Machine is a person who is hard to judge for his merits and sins and has different lawsuits.
