He was unyielding and won the posthumous title of "martyr" in the 10th year of Xiantong (869). Later, in view of the fact that Lin Yun's descendants moved to fuxizhou, the magistrate of Putian set zhongmenfang in the territory to honor the gate.

Ten years after Xiantong of Tang Dynasty (869), the magistrate of Putian County was deeply impressed by the achievements of Lin Yun, a native of the city, and gave his posthumous title to Zhonglie, the descendant of Lin Yun, who lived in fuxizhou, so he set up Zhongmen village in the territory.
