佛祖統紀 49.3

49.3

維智者以斯道盛行當世。古今名賢贊德之文如柳顧言國清碑。皇甫毘玉泉碑（二文見國清百錄）亡名玉泉實錄（碑是再刻之文曾獲墨本）唐梁肅荊溪大師碑。宋張商英關王祠堂記。胡昉法智法師碑。晁說之明智法師碑。皆摭取要事參入紀傳。不復別錄全文。至若自唐迄今。黼黻大教碑記論序。何其多乎。今錄其尤著者。為名文光教志。

When Zhizhe flourished with this Way in his time, the texts in praise of his virtue by renowned worthies of antiquity and today—such as Liu Guyan's Guoqing Stele, Huangfu Bi's Yuquan Stele (these two writings are found in the Guoqing bailu), the Anonymous True Record of Yuquan (this stele is a re-carved text of which an ink rubbing was once obtained), Tang Liang Su's Stele for Grand Master Jingxi, Song Zhang Shangying's Record of the Ancestral Hall of Lord Guan, Hu Fang's Stele for Dharma Master Fazhi, and Chao Shuozhi's Stele for Dharma Master Mingzhi—have all had their essential matters extracted and incorporated into the Annals and Biographies, and their full texts are not recorded separately again. Yet, from the Tang down to the present, how numerous are the stele records, treatises, and prefaces that adorn the Great Teaching! Now I record the most outstanding among them to make the 'Treatise on Celebrated Writings That Illumine the Teaching'.
