The earliest information about the life stories of monks in Zhaozhou is the tenth volume of Zutang Collection, which was written in the tenth year of Southern Tang Dynasty (952). The most detailed is "The Behavior of Zen Master Zhao Ji" (referred to as "Behavior" for short) described by Huitong of Luoyang East Hospital in the 11th year of Baoda. Since then, biographies of eminent monks in the Song Dynasty (in the year of Duan AD < 988 >), Biography of the Eastern Courtyard of Tang Dynasty and Zhao Dynasty, The Lantern in Jingdezhen (in the first year of Jingdezhen in the Northern Song Dynasty < 1004 >) and Zen Master in the Eastern Courtyard of Zhao Dynasty have been recorded.
There are always different opinions about the dharma name and hometown infiltration of monks in Zhaozhou. "Zu Tangji" said, "All the letters are taboo, and the youth society is full of people." Qingshe refers to Qingzhou in ancient times (Note: See Chinese Dictionary, Shanghai Chinese Dictionary Publishing House, 1 June 19931Edition, the first1/volume, page 524, right. ); Qiu Han, I don't know where it is. "Biography of Song Monks" is named after the imperial edict, and Qingzhou is close to the people. The "mound" in Zutang's collection is close to the ground. Qingzhou, the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to Weifang, Yidu and other places in Shandong Province today, which is in Qingzhou City, Shandong Province today. In the Ming Dynasty, Du Fu and Feng Weine compiled the Interpretation of Twenty-six Immortals in Qingzhou Prefecture. According to the Biography of Monks in Song Dynasty, Zhaozhou was a temporary residence. This volume of Cong Patent was written by Zhou, An Qisheng in the early Warring States, Li in the Han Dynasty, Zhu Fatai in the Jin Dynasty and Yuan monk in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties. Obviously, Cong Patents lived before the Tang Dynasty (Note: See Selected Publications of Ming Dynasty in Tianyi Pavilion, Volume 1, Fifty Leaves Right. )。 The index of characters' names in Selected Records of the Ming Dynasty collected by Tianyi Pavilion was called "Eastern Jin Dynasty" (Note: p. 97 1. ) The above writing method can't reach the common surname; However, only the book Jing Yun is completely patented in Zhaozhou. The dictionary of the Ho Family in Dahan written by the Japanese holds that Zhao Zhou, a monk, is the son of the Ho family in Qingzhou, and he county is listed as or (note: Volume 4, page 884a). ) Chen Yuan wrote "Records of Historical Suspicions", which belongs to Zhaozhou as "Hao Family in Linzi, Qingzhou" (Note: 154. ), the beggar gang also according to the record of "Biography of Song Monks".
Article 226 of Zhaozhou Glossary says: "Q:' Who did the monk inherit?' Shi Yun: "Chen Cong." "Rule 43 1:" Q:' What kind of ruler is Zhaozhou?' Shi Yun: "The old monk is a believer." "This is the only material that can be seen in the anonymous speech of Zhaozhou monks. According to Xiang Xing, the common surname is Hao, a native of Hao, so why not? The same is true of Jingde Road. Later, in the second year of Daguan in Song Dynasty (1 108), the seventh volume of Zuting Poetry Garden was compiled by Shan Qing of Song Mu 'an (note: Volume I, Volume II, Volume I, Eight Beads and Jade Collection, Zhao Zhou). ), "Lian Deng Yao Hui" Volume 6, "Zhao Zhou Guanyin worships the Zen master" (Note: "Continued Tibetan Classics in Great Japan", Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 2, Volume 9, reference book. ) "Five Lights Meeting Yuan" Volume 4 "Zhao Zhou Cong Gu Zen Master" (Note: Book 1, Book 2, Book 1, Book 18. ), Shao Tan's second year (1254) was in Baoyou, Song Lizong, and the five authentic praises were the first volume, and the Zen master in Zhen Ji, Zhaozhou (note: Continued Tibetan Scriptures in Great Japan, Volume I, Volume II, Volume 180, Volume V). ), written by Yuan Nianchang in the first year of Zheng Zheng (134 1) with the title "Three Years of Dingsi Ganning in Tang Zhaozong" (note: Dazheng newly revised the Tripitaka Sutra 49/48 1c). ), Cai Mingmao Zhao and other local chronicles compilation [Qin Long] Zhao Zhouzhi Volume Ten Miscellaneous Texts (Note: Selected Publications of Ming Dynasty Local Chronicles Collected by Tianyige) Volume Three, with 18 pages left. ), "Jiaqing Rebuilding the Great Unity" Volume 182 "Cao Zhou Fu Shi Xian" (Note: Volume 1 1. Page 89 13. ), "Shandong Tongzhi" Volume III O "Shi Xian Zhi" (Note: "Wen Yuan Gesi Ku Quanshu", 54 1/48 1 lower right. ) Shaanxi Tongzhi Volume 160 Shixiantang (Note: Quanshu of Guangsi, 547/530. ), such as China Zen History (Note: 4 12 pages. ), Bhikumi's Classic of Buddhism in China (Note: 3 18 pages. ), etc. , all hold this view. The jurisdiction of Cao Zhou and Tang Dynasty is equivalent to Heze and Cao Xian in Shandong Province today, located in the northwest of Cao Xian in Shandong Province today. It should be pointed out that the record of Jiaqing's reconstruction and reunification refers to the name of Zhaozhou (Note: Volume I, page 89 13. ) there is no basis; Because of this, the index of biographical data of Sikuquanshu is wrongly listed as "Cong Sui" (note: the third part of the index series of Sikuquanshu is one, but 267c；; Volume III, page 12 15c&; d .)
The names of monks in Zhaozhou are all imperial edicts or from imperial edicts. Although there are small differences, they are all accessible. "Shuo Wen Jie Bu": "Chen, deep remonstrance." Duan Yucai's note: "People who are deeply remonstrated can't say what people say." All the suggestions are known by all the suggestions. If you obey, it means accepting the advice of the rules. As for whether it originated in Qingzhou or Cao Zhou, there are also documents to prove it, and later generations can't and can't take it as one.
