15.47

The commentary states: As for the way of Zhizhe, it is vast, great, and completely comprehensive. For his disciples to honor and believe in it themselves is not enough to make others believe in it; only when renowned scholars and literati believe in and study it does his way become truly credible. In the time of Zhizhe, there were Xu Ling and Liu Guyan; in the time of Jingxi, there were Liang Su and Li Hua; in the time of Ciyun, there were Wang Wenmu and Ma Liang; in the time of Mingzhi, there were Chao Yidao and Chen Yingzhong. These several gentlemen not only knew the way, but could also compose writings to praise it. The way of Zhizhe thereby became ever more radiant.
