Textual Critique: The collected works of Zheng Jingwang's family say that Lord Mao was reborn as Zhang Shizheng, while the Kuoyi zhi says he was the Immortal Li of the Southern Marchmount. Between these two, one must be correct. Looking now at Yue Shi's dream-resonance, it borders on the vague and indistinct; it is not as factual as what Ziying encountered when ascending in spirit. Moreover, Zhenzong's offering of the memorial in that year and Empress Ren's conferral of the title on this day both serve to corroborate and rectify this matter; therefore, what was recorded by Mr. Zheng should be taken as the truth.
