Jianzhen is a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' who has only been mentioned in the letters of [[Abe no Nakamaro]] for his pivotal role in protecting the [[śarīra]].

	Background information about his life is given in the [[The Flower Banquet (Special)\|special issue]] of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty Volume 1\|Volume 1: The Flower Banquet]]'', originally written in Chinese. However, Tokyopop's English edition states that Chunyu was his "former name", which can be considered a mistranslation since it suggests that it was his original given name. The original text specifically states that it was his "secular surname", i.e. his family name prior to becoming a monk. The English ~~tradition~~ also mistakenly states that his hometown of Guangyang is in "present-day Jiangsu, Yangzhou", as though Jiangsu is the city and Yangzhou the province, a confusion stemming from Chinese convention being to order larger political units before smaller political units.
