潭州谷山豐禪師（亦住興元府普通院）僧問。師唱誰家曲宗風嗣阿誰。師曰。雪嶺梅華綻雲洞老僧驚。師上堂示眾曰。駿馬機前異遊人肘後懸。既參雲外客試為老僧看。才有僧出。師便打云。何不早出頭來。

> Chan Master Feng of Gushan in Tanzhou (who also resided at Putong Cloister in Xingyuan Prefecture). A monk asked, “Whose song does the master sing? Whose tradition of the school do you succeed?”  
> The master said, “Plum blossoms bloom on the snowy peak; the old monk in the cloudy cave is startled.”  
> The master went up to the hall and instructed the assembly, saying, “A swift horse is outstanding before the spur; the wanderer carries \[a talisman\] suspended behind his elbow. Since you have studied with a guest beyond the clouds, test it out for this old monk to see.”  
> Just as a monk stepped forward, the master struck him and said, “Why didn’t you stick your head out earlier?”
