Jee Shim Sim Si (Zhi Shan Chan Shi or Chan (Buddhist) Teacher Jee Sin) is said in legend to have been a Buddhist monk and survivor of the Shaolin Temple. Some stories say Jee Shim was from the Northern temple in Henan. Others maintain he was abbot of the Southern temple located in Fujian. Still others suggest he was originally from the Henan temple and fled south to the Fujian temple when the Northern one was destroyed by the Manchurians in the mid 18th century, only to have to flee again when the Southern temple later met with the same fate.
