Changes

Xie was originally from Hangzhou but settled in Hakata, took a Japanese wife, and became a rather prominent figure in the community. In [[1233]], he allowed the Japanese monk [[Enni]] to take up residence in his home. Enni sojourned in China from [[1235]] to [[1241]], but after his return, Xie and a number of other Chinese merchants arranged to purchase land from [[Hakozaki Shrine]], on which to establish a new temple, Jôten-ji, with Enni as its first abbot. The following year, Enni and Xie organized to send some one thousand logs (valued at 30,000 貫 ''guan'') to [[Hangzhou]] to help rebuild the [[Wanshou-si]], a major Chan ([[Zen]]) temple there which had been damaged in a fire.
