No. 1527-A續武林西湖高僧事略
正集起於晉。止於宋元。自後無續之者。乃補入元季 國初得五師焉。而中峯本禪師。相傳今吳山雲居菴有師所著麻履尚存。然考之行狀誌銘。及與廣錄。曾無住持雲居之事。不敢徇俗增補。又正集中。國一欽禪師始末皆在雙徑。未見住武林西湖實跡。似為可刪。姑存之以俟再考。所補五師。雖一二誕生於元。而出世涅槃大都在洪永間。故獨以 國朝標之。嗣有作者。可更續云。

Continuation of the "Accounts of Eminent Monks of West Lake in Wulin" from the Song Dynasty, compiled by the Ming Dynasty eminent monk Master Lianchi, Zhuhong. This work serves as a continuation of the Northern Song text "Accounts of Eminent Monks of West Lake in Wulin" and belongs to the category of Buddhist historical and biographical literature. It primarily records the life stories and Dharma propagation journeys of eminent monks and great virtuous beings around West Lake in Hangzhou from the late Song to the Ming Dynasty, reflecting the transmission and development of Buddhism in this region. As an important resource for studying the history of Buddhism in the Jiangnan area, it carries forward the tradition of Buddhist biographies, holding a connecting role between past and future, and provides invaluable records for later generations to understand the Buddhist figures and the style of various schools in Hangzhou prior to the mid-Ming period.
