The commentary says: Chao Yidao said, 'I used to wonder at Duke Han Wen and Ouyang [Xiu] striving so hard to reject the Buddhists, yet their gates harbored many giants of Buddhism. While figures such as Chengguan and Qisong could certainly pass their teachings on to later generations on their own, that literati to this day take pleasure in praising and speaking of them is due to the power of these two lords.'
