梁武帝天監二年。率群臣士庶發菩提心。永棄道教。十六年。勅廢天下道觀。道士皆反俗。北齊文宣天保六年。道士請與釋角法不勝。詔道士並從剃度。自是齊境並無道士。

> In the second year of the Tianjian era of Emperor Wu of the Liang, he led the officials, gentry, and commoners in generating the bodhicitta and forever renouncing Daoism. In the sixteenth year, he decreed the abolition of Daoist temples throughout the realm, and all Daoist priests were returned to secular life. In the sixth year of the Tianbao era of Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi, Daoists requested a contest of powers with Buddhists and were defeated; an edict ordered all Daoists to submit to tonsure, and from then on there were no Daoists within the territory of Qi.
