Other points of interest
The pairing of KR6q0550 (Chúnbèi Guǎngdé) and KR6q0551 (Fǎchuáng Zhìyuǎn) gives a teacher-disciple sequence of yǔlù documenting the Húběi Yangtze-gorge institutional rebuilding of late-Kāngxī LínjìYángqí Buddhism on the Pòshān → Ěrdú line. The mùsòng sequence in Zhìyuǎn’s yǔlù uses a slightly non-standard ten-stage scheme (omitting the more familiar kuòniú / fǎnběn terminology in favor of xúnfú / xiāngwàng / dúzhào / shuāngmián).
