An excerpt from the Tiantang Yiuchi describes all of the
Yuanling 原靈 (or Yuanren 原人), who descended to the realms of the living, were originally pure. But through many cycles of deaths, mixing with earth, (reincarnation) and the ways of the (living) world, most had lost their purity, became cluttered and never find their ways back to heaven.

Xiu (修), to correct, to better and to improve.
Xingming Shuangxiu (性命雙修), is to correct or better both the fundamental nature (性) and the live(命) of one’s being. Note the Chinese characters xingming (性命) is commonly read and understood as one’s life. The Xingming in this term distinguishes Xing from Ming, in that Xing (性) is the original man, the Yuanling (原靈) whilst Ming (命) denotes the life or the duration for which the Xing would occupy within the lifespan of the individual.Further Information
