Nanquan asked a monk, "Where have you come from?" The monk said, "I have come from beating the sieve at Shenshan." Nanquan said, "Did you beat it with your hands or with your feet?" The monk had no words. Nanquan said, "Ask me, and I will tell you." The monk said, "Did you beat it with your hands or with your feet?" Nanquan said, "Later on, when you meet a person with clear eyes, bring this up." Later, Fayan asked a monk, "How do you understand Shenshan's story of beating the sieve?" The monk bowed. Fayan said, "I have a staff that splits the spine—what will you do?" The monk said, "If you do not strike, where will you seek Chongshou?" Fayan said, "In other places that would do, but here it does not."
