Under the Liu Song, although Emperor Xiaowu in the sixth year of Daming temporarily instituted homage to the ruler, he soon returned to the earlier policy. In the Central Plains, in the seventh year of the Zhenjun era of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei, the Daoist Kou Qianzhi and Minister over the Masses Cui Hao slandered the Buddhist Dharma. The Emperor agreed with them and thereupon destroyed the Buddhist Dharma, decapitating fleeing monks. Later, when Tanshi was invited and the Emperor bowed with his head to the ground to repent his errors—after the scriptures had been abolished for five years—the Emperor was afflicted with leprosy, so he executed the Cui clan and restored the Buddhist Dharma.
