### [1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.9)

師在溈山為直歲作務歸。溈山問：「甚麼處去來？」師云：「田中來。」溈山云：「田中多少人？」師插鍬叉手。溈山云：「今日南山大有人刈茅。」師拔鍬便行。（玄沙備云：「我若見，即踏倒鍬子。」僧問鏡清：「仰山插鍬，意旨如何？」鏡清云：「狗䘖赦書，諸侯避道。」僧云：「秖如玄沙踏倒，意旨如何？」鏡清云：「不奈船何，打破戽斗。」僧云：「南山刈茅，意旨如何？」鏡清云：「李靖三兄久經行陣。」雲居鍚云：「且道鏡清下此一判，著？不著？」雪竇顯云：「諸方咸謂插鍬話奇特，大似隨邪逐惡。據雪竇見處，仰山被溈山一問，直得草繩自縛，死去十分。」翠巖芝云：「仰山只得一橛，諸人別有會麼？」）

> While serving as director of duties at Guishan, the Master returned from his labor. Guishan asked, "Where have you been?" The Master said, "I have come from the fields." Guishan said, "How many people were in the fields?" The Master thrust his spade into the ground and folded his hands. Guishan said, "Today on the South Mountain many people are mowing cogongrass." The Master pulled up the spade and walked off. (Xuansha Bei said, "Had I seen him, I would have kicked the spade over." A monk asked Jingqing, "When Yangshan thrust in the spade, what was the meaning?" Jingqing said, "A dog holding a decree of pardon in its mouth; the feudal lords yield the road." The monk said, "Just as when Xuansha kicked it over, what was the meaning?" Jingqing said, "Unable to do anything about the boat, he smashed the bailer." The monk said, "What was the meaning of mowing cogongrass on the South Mountain?" Jingqing said, "Third Brother Li Jing has long been experienced in battle formations." Yunju Xi said, "Tell me, did Jingqing render this verdict accurately or not?" Xuedou Xian said, "Every quarter says that the spade-thrusting story is extraordinary; this is very much like pursuing error and chasing wickedness. According to Xuedou's view, Yangshan, upon receiving Guishan's single question, tied himself up completely with a grass rope, completely dead." Cuiyan Zhi said, "Yangshan obtained only one stake; does anyone have another understanding?")
