Preface: From the Yongping era of the Han down to the Chiwu years of the Wu, nearly two hundred years elapsed. The teaching flowed through the Central Plains but did not reach the south of the Yangtze River. When Kang Senghui first arrived, he set up an image and held vegetarian fasts; at the time, people considered this strange and extraordinary. He asked Kan Ze, the Director of the Imperial Secretariat, saying: "The Buddha's transformative guidance began with Emperor Ming of the Han; having spread and gradually flowed for so long, why has it only now reached Jiangdong?" Kan Ze said: "When Kāśyapa Mātanga first entered Luoyang, the Daoists of the eighteen mountain lodges of the Five Sacred Peaks contested powers with Mātanga; at that time the Daoists were defeated. Chu Shanxin and others, Daoists of the Southern Peak, died of grief and shame. Their disciples carried their corpses back to be buried at the Southern Peak, so there was no one to disseminate it; only now has it arrived here." The rest is as listed below. The Great Emperor of Wu, Sun Quan, courtesy name Zhongmou, was a man of Fuchun in Wu Commandery; his family had served in Wu for generations. Over his family's eastern tomb, there were frequently divine lights and cloudy vapors. Furthermore, when Quan's father, Jian, was first conceived in the womb, his mother dreamed that her intestines were drawn out and encircled the Chang Gate of Wu; everyone declared that the Sun clan would rise. When Quan was born, his eyes possessed an extraordinary brilliance, with a square jaw and a broad mouth; his father was amazed by him, considering him destined to be a hegemon or king. Striding across Min and Yue, setting up his capital under the stellar lodges of the Dipper and the Ox, enfeoffing and appointing the feudal lords, establishing a reign era, receiving homage from seas and mountains, and facing south to rule as sovereign, he called his realm Great Wu. At first he made his capital at E and Wuchang, then moved to Moling, and moved again to Jianye. Two years after the Wei succeeded the Han, Quan established his reign and proclaimed his first era. There were four sovereigns over fifty-nine years beginning in Huangwu; Sun Hao had reigned for two years when the Jin received the abdication from the Wei, and after fifteen years the Jin conquered Wu. If dividing by years, Sun Hao's fourteen years should be entered into the Jin dynasty; now they are extracted separately and compiled into the Wu Record. The various sūtras translated by four persons, both monastic and lay, comprise 148 works in 190 fascicles. Together with the various lost translations of the two dynasties of Wei and Wu, they are compiled together into the Wu Record.
