[Hongzhi] cited: Shousheng said, "Before the middle of the month I use a hook; after the middle of the month I use an awl." A monk then asked, "What about right in the middle of the month?" Shousheng said, "The mud ox tramples and shatters the moon in the clear pool." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Mastering function at both ends, Shousheng is an adept. Directly forgetting function—who has embodied this? Letting go, guest and host interchange; holding fast, no trace or sign remains. Is there anyone who embodies it? The jade maiden throws her shuttle at night, / Weaving brocade in the western dwelling."
