Cui Hao urged Taiwu to abolish Buddhism, burn its scriptures, and bury its followers alive; this was using Qin's old method. Han Yu's words said: 'Make men of their men, and burn their books.' This used Cui Hao's legacy method; he merely did not encounter such a ruler. Although his empty words brought no disaster, if someone in later generations should adopt and practice his words, would it not be an encumbrance upon glorious virtue?
