潭州道吾契詮禪師。僧問。師唱誰家曲。宗風嗣阿誰。師曰。鳳嶺無私曲。如今天下傳。曰如何是道吾境。師曰。溪花含玉露。庭果落金臺。曰如何是境中人。師曰。擁爐披古衲。曝日枕山根。問牛頭未見四祖時如何。師曰。玉上青蠅。曰見後如何。師曰。紅爐焰裏氷。

Chan Master Qiquan of Daowu in Tanzhou. A monk asked: 'Whose tune does the Master sing? Whose lineage style do you inherit?' The Master said: 'The Phoenix Peak has no private tune; today it is transmitted throughout the world.' The monk said: 'What is the environment of Daowu?' The Master said: 'Mountain-stream flowers contain jade dew; courtyard fruits fall upon the golden terrace.' The monk said: 'What about the person within the environment?' The Master said: 'Hugging the brazier, draped in an ancient patched robe; basking in the sun, pillowing on the mountain's foot.' The monk asked: 'How was it before Niutou met the Fourth Patriarch?' The Master said: 'A green fly on jade.' The monk asked: 'How was it after he met him?' The Master said: 'Ice within the flames of a red-hot stove.'
