四分律行事鈔資持記 3.233

3.233

正判中。絲麻毛綿，從體標名，四種攝盡一切衣物，即十三章中十三第八二章也。古來科節連環合雜，物類不分，重輕混亂。今竝細科，有如指掌；至於記中，略點而已。又復古記多引俗書釋物名相，古今朝代裁製不同；過成繁碎，今竝削之。至有難曉，時為略釋。

In the principal determination: silk, hemp, wool, and cotton are designated by their substance; these four kinds comprehend all robes and articles, which corresponds to the thirteenth and eighth chapters among the thirteen chapters. From ancient times, the subheadings were interwoven and mixed together, so that types of articles were not distinguished and heavy and light were conflated. Now they are all divided into fine subheadings, clear as pointing to the palm of one's hand; as for this commentary, it merely touches on them briefly. Moreover, ancient commentaries mostly cited secular books to explain the names and forms of articles; but the cutting and tailoring across ancient and modern dynasties differ, which became excessively tedious and fragmented, so they are all omitted here. Where there is something genuinely difficult to understand, a brief explanation is provided occasionally.
