Two prefaces: by Chāoyuán Dànyá 超源 dated 康熙乙亥王春 = 1695 spring; and by the military commander Lán Lǐ 藍理 dated 康熙丙子孟春月上浣 = 1696 lunar 1 — i.e. the same two preface-authors as the parallel teacher’s yǔlù KR6q0554. notBefore = 1680 (Qìngyún succession at his teacher’s death); notAfter = 1696 (latest preface). Printed as Jiāxīng Canon J39 B444.

Other points of interest

The fóshì section preserves a complete liturgical record of the funerary cycle for Héngshān Dēngbǐng 衡山燈炳 in 1680, paralleling the analogous fóshì sequences in KR6q0557 and KR6q0558 for Sānshān Dēnglái 三山燈來 (1685). Together these provide a remarkable comparative dossier on late-17th-century Sìchuān Jùyún 聚雲 LínjìDàhuì school mortuary ritual.
