破邪論 2.12

2.12

魏志曰。張魯。字公旗。祖父陵。客蜀學道在鵠鳴山中。造作道書以惑百姓。從受道者出米五斗。世號米賊。陵死子衡傳業。衡死魯復傳之。陵為天師。衡為嗣師。魯為係師。自號三師也。素與劉焉善。焉死子璋立。以魯不順。殺魯母及室家。魯遂據漢中。以鬼道化民。符書章禁為本。其來學者初名鬼卒。受道用金帛之物。號為祭酒。各領部眾。眾多者名治頭。有病者令首過大都與張角相似。

The *Records of Wei* states: Zhang Lu, courtesy name Gongqi. His grandfather Ling traveled to Shu to practice the Way in Mount Huming, fabricating Daoist books to delude the common people. Those who received the Way from him contributed five pecks of rice, so the world called them the 'Rice Bandits'. When Ling died, his son Heng transmitted the practice; when Heng died, Lu transmitted it in turn. Ling was the Celestial Master, Heng was the Inheriting Master, and Lu was the Lineage Master; they called themselves the Three Masters. Lu was originally on good terms with Liu Yan. When Yan died and his son Liu Zhang succeeded him, Zhang killed Lu's mother and household because Lu was disobedient. Lu then occupied Hanzhong and transformed the people with demonic arts, taking talismans, registers, petitions, and prohibitions as the foundation. Those who first came to study were called 'Demon Soldiers'. Those who received the Way offered gold and silk goods, and were called 'Libationers', each leading a band of followers; those with large followings were called 'Parish Heads'. The sick were made to confess their transgressions; all of this was broadly similar to Zhang Jue.
