35.23

I observe that the Fanyi mingyi [ji] states: The Tang Daoist Yin Wencao claimed that the Faben neichuan was fabricated by Kumārajīva's disciples, wishing to suggest that the accounts of Emperor Ming of Han dreaming of the golden man and the Daoists burning scriptures were entirely false. He utterly failed to consider that Emperor Ming's dream comes from the Book of the Han, and Kan Ze, answering the Lord of Wu, also spoke of the Buddhists and Daoists burning scriptures in a contest and Fei Shucai dying of self-reproach, which is seen in the Records of Wu. Deducing from this, the Neichuan is truly from the Han era, not a fabrication of Jin people. Wencao's absurd argument collapses. This is of the same deceitful nature as the interpolation of the phrase "converting the barbarians" into the Liexian zhuan; was that also added by Wencao?
