四分律行事鈔資持記 2.529

In criticizing omissions and deficiencies: Jin refers to Hedong; Wei refers to Xiangbu; Guanfu refers to the Three Auxiliaries of Guanzhong (Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng, and Zhong Jingzhao, which jointly assisted Chang'an). "Abolition and revival" refers to the aforementioned adoption and abandonment. The characters shānbǔ ("abridging and supplementing") are a scribal error; repeatedly acquired ancient editions all read bǔquē ("supplementing deficiencies"). (In transmissions and lectures from antiquity to the present, since there were no added explanations, how could there be abridgment? One must take the ancient as the standard.) This shows that from ancient times it was never discussed, and only now is it examined and determined; thus handing down a model to posterity, its brilliance surpasses previous generations.
