8.68

（三十三）　釋老志曰。有魏孝文者。聖天子也。五歲受禪十歲服冕。太和十八年遷都于洛。二十年改姓元氏。文章百篇。冠絕今古。初登詔誥假手有司。太和以後並自運筆。前後諸帝不能及之。凡下七詔大興三寶。帝建鹿野鹿苑二浮圖。岩房禪室無不嚴麗。

(33) The Treatise on Buddhism and Daoism states: Emperor Xiaowen of the Wei was a sagely son of heaven. At five he received the abdication, and at ten he donned the crown. In the eighteenth year of Taihe, he moved the capital to Luo; in the twentieth year, he changed the imperial surname to Yuan. His compositions numbered a hundred pieces, excelling both ancient and modern times. When he first ascended the throne, edicts and proclamations were drafted by officials; after Taihe, he wrote them all with his own brush, surpassing all preceding and succeeding emperors. He issued a total of seven edicts to greatly promote the Three Jewels. The emperor constructed the two stupas of Luya and Luyuan; cliffside cells and meditation chambers were all solemn and magnificent.
