12.33

In the sixth year of the Xiankang reign of the Jin dynasty, Emperor Cheng was young, and Yu Bing assisted in government. Yu Bing maintained that śramaṇas should pay full homage to the ruler. Prefect of the Masters of Writing He Chong and others argued that they should not pay homage. The matter was referred to the ritual officials for detailed deliberation, and the erudites' opinion agreed with Chong's. The Chancellery, taking Yu Bing's intent, rejected it. Prefect of the Masters of Writing He Chong, Vice Directors Chu Yi and Zhuge Hui, and Masters of Writing Feng Huai, Xie Guang, and others submitted a memorial that śramaṇas should not pay full homage.
