Other points of interest
The shùn zhū 順硃 commentarial format — common in late-Ming / early-Qing Chinese scholastic practice across Buddhist, Confucian, and popular-didactic literature — converts a reading-aid of red-ink marginal corrections into a running prose-exposition. The format is characteristic of the broader kējiǎ xué 科甲學 (examination-study) pedagogical world, and its application here to a Chán text reflects the integration of Buddhist texts into the mainstream Chinese scholastic-commentarial culture of the early Qing.
