舉：「溈山問仰山：『甚處來？』云：『田中來。』溈云：『田中多少人？』山插下鍬子，叉手而立，溈云：『南山大有人刈茆。』山拈得鍬子便行。玄沙云：『我當時若見，與踏倒鍬子。』鏡清云：『不奈船何，打破戽斗。』僧問明招：『古人意在插鍬處叉手處？』招喚某甲，僧應諾，招云：『還曾夢見仰山麼？』」師云：「諸方老宿咸謂，插鍬話奇特，也大似隨邪逐惡。若據雪竇見處，仰山被溈山一問，直得草繩自縛，去死十分。」

> \[The Master\] cited: "Guishan asked Yangshan, 'Where have you come from?' Yangshan said, 'From the field.' Guishan said, 'How many people are in the field?' Yangshan stuck his spade into the ground and stood with hands crossed. Guishan said, 'On the South Mountain, many people are cutting thatch.' Yangshan took up the spade and left. Xuansha said, 'If I had seen him at that time, I would have kicked over his spade.' Jingqing said, 'Unable to do anything about the boat, he breaks the bailer.' A monk asked Mingzhao, 'Was the ancient's intent in sticking in the spade, or in crossing the hands?' Zhao called the monk's name; the monk responded. Zhao said, 'Have you ever dreamt of Yangshan?'" The Master said, "The elder masters in all quarters all say the story of sticking in the spade is extraordinary; this is very much like following error and pursuing evil. According to Xuedou's view, when Yangshan was questioned by Guishan, he simply bound himself with grass rope, completely headed for death."
