Xīnhuì

Xinhui lies among the waterways of the western Pearl River Delta. It was the home of Chen Xianzhang, the Ming scholar whose teaching at Baisha made the district a center of learning. Known as Master Baisha, Chen emphasized quiet reflection and the cultivation of the mind. After his death in 1500, his reputation drew students and admirers to his native place. A shrine honoring him was built in 1584, preserving his memory in the district where he had taught.
