Other points of interest
A rare northern-China Cáodòng yǔlù in J39, with all three abbacies in Fēnzhōufǔ 汾州府 (Shānxī). Dékǎi’s earlier formation in Yángzhōu Tàixìng (his birthplace) and Juéhuá (Cáodòng base) before migrating north establishes a distinct geographic-lineage trajectory. The zhòngbiān preface indicates a previously-circulated edition before this canonical version.
