宋蔡京進太師。童貫加武康熙河等路宣撫。內侍建節始此。五月加貫檢校司空易鎮泰寧。貫由此恃功選置將吏。不復關朝廷矣（宋鑑）浙西湖州有邵宗益者。剖蚌中有珠現阿羅漢像。偏袒右肩矯首左顧衣紋畢具。僧俗驚喜奉之以歸城南慈感天台教寺。寺臨苕溪。建炎間憲使楊應誠與客傳玩。不覺越檻躍入溪中。後溪涸沙明索而獲之。建閣藏焉（韻語陽秋）。

Under the Song, Cai Jing was promoted to Grand Preceptor. Tong Guan was given the additional post of Pacification Commissioner for circuits such as Wukang and Xihe. The investiture of eunuchs with military tallies began with this. In the fifth month, Guan was additionally made Acting Grand Minister of Works and was transferred to garrison Taining. Relying on his achievements, Guan thereby selected and appointed generals and officers without consulting the court any longer (Songjian). In Huzhou of Western Zhejiang, a man named Shao Zongyi split open a clam, and inside was a pearl showing the image of an arhat, with his right shoulder bared, his head raised looking to the left, and the folds of his robes completely depicted. Monks and laity were amazed and delighted, and brought it back to the Cigan Tiantai Teaching Monastery south of the city. The monastery overlooked the Tiao Stream. During the Jianyan era, Surveillance Vice-Commissioner Yang Yingcheng passed it around with guests to admire it; inadvertently, it jumped over the railing into the stream. Later, when the stream dried up and the sand was clear, they searched for and recovered it, building a pavilion to store it (Yunyu yangqiu).
