English version: 'Ye', 'Diao', pronounced in the departing tone. 'Diao' refers to the rent rice that the common people pay to the government. 'Juan' means to exempt. Xu dispatched two households, each with several family members, to provide firewood and fetch water in the morning and evening, exempting them from official duties. Yuan Zixiong of Chen Commandery went to Lin Baili. At the same time, Yu Chong of Xinye levied three taxes from the people. The two climbed a mountain together and happened to be present when the Vimalakirti Sutra was being lectured. So they fasted for many days and listened to the Dharma attentively. Yuan Zixiong saw a mountain in front of the hall, as clear and transparent as crystal, with winding streams in the shade of the mountain, paved with exquisite jade, spanning a rainbow bridge, decorated with treasures. Dozens of Brahma monks, all holding incense burners in their hands, came out of the mountain, ascended the bridge and entered the hall, their dignified manner dazzling the eyes, and the fragrance filling the nostrils. Yuan Zixiong told Yu Chong about this, but Yu Chong said he did not see it. Being in the same place but having different perceptions, the reason lies here. Yuan Zixiong therefore made a vow to renovate the lecture hall. This event is not far in the past, and the lecture hall is still there today. Xinye is the name of a county, originally belonging to Jingzhou. After Emperor Wu of Jin pacified Wu, Xinye Commandery was established. 'Three taxes' have not been found in other books, perhaps referring to money, cloth, silk, and grain, which cannot be determined. Since Yu Chong levied three taxes from the people, and since they were coarse taxes, they should only be handed over to the government. Why should they be used for almsgiving? Perhaps there was an imperial decree at the time allowing this. Since it is not one's own property, it has become a disturbance to the people, so the sages do not want to see it. 'Hall' refers to the Great Compassion Lecture Hall. However, the foundation of Tiantai Mountain presses against the vast ocean, and the local people make a living by fishing. Those who set up fish weirs cut off streams, and those who set up 'Hu' enclose the sea. When the autumn water rises, large and small fish fill the weirs, and the sound of fish wailing echoes along the water's edge during the two tides day and night. Countless fish skulls pile up into mountains, and the sound of flies and maggots is like thunder. Not only is the landscape of land and water sad, but it is also a pity that fishermen kill living beings indiscriminately. The former teacher therefore initiated a heart of universal compassion, personally giving up his clothes and soliciting donations from others to redeem a piece of water, which will forever be used as a release pond. Huangyan, Linhai, and Ninghai in the territory of Taizhou, as well as Xiangguo in Mingzhou and Lerui in Wenzhou, all face the East Sea. The character 'Yu' (渔, fishing) is derived from water, and all the characters for 'Yu' of fishermen use this 'Yu', indicating taking fish from the water. 'Liang' (梁) is a tool for catching fish. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: (一/(尸@邑)) means to protect. It is bound with arrows and ropes, like the shape of curtains and cages. This is because it is located in a coastal area producing fish and salt. 颅 (lú), refers to the skull. 殒 (yǔn), refers to death. If someone upholds pure precepts, they will surely be reborn in the Pure Land heavens. Killing and injuring are so severe that one will surely fall into Naraka (hell). Isn't this painful? At that time, Ji Xu was the prefect of the commandery and invited someone to lecture on the *Golden Light Sutra*, universally benefiting all beings without bias. Treasures should be taken out of the cave, and one should cultivate oneself with compassion. Those who see it rejoice. Cultivate the mouth with compassion, and those who hear the sound develop good intentions. Skillfully guide and earnestly encourage, leading people to understand cause and effect. All the fishermen in the commandery reformed from evil to good, loving life and stopping killing. The fishing weirs stretched for more than three hundred *li*, and the fish weirs on the rivers and streams, totaling sixty-three, were simultaneously and permanently abandoned, all becoming release ponds. The number of lives saved in a single day is countless, far exceeding ten thousand! Ji Xu lectured on the *Stream of Water* chapter on a boat on the river, and also distributed *japonica* rice as both material and Dharma offerings. The boat sailed out of the estuary, looking towards Mount Furong, whose peaks rose steeply, like red lotuses just beginning to bloom. The horizontal stones hung down alone, like withered flowers about to fall. The master said, 'In a dream I once traveled to the seaside, and the scene was exactly like this.' *Bailu* *Releasing Life Stele* records that General Xuanmeng, Internal History of Linhai, Ji Shang'er, was a descendant of Xun, and invited someone to lecture on a *Golden Light Sutra*. Former General of the Cavalry, Internal History of Linhai, Chen Sizhan, was his son Chen Anqing, and invited someone to lecture on the *Lotus Sutra*. Ji Shang'er persuaded the fish weir owners Yan Xuzu, Yang Gonghe, and others to jointly donate sixty-three fish weirs. Now speaking of Ji Xu, it is probably because the name and style name are similar. Saying 'more than ten thousand' is because the number of lives released this time exceeds the number saved by Elder Stream of Water. Saying 'also distributed *japonica* rice' is also like the son of Stream of Water borrowing elephants, taking the method of eating and drinking at home, and scattering the rice in the pond to feed the fish. Saying 'square boat' is two boats side by side. 'Past dream' refers to the dream when worshiping the Buddha at home. Now the boat sails out of the estuary, and what is seen now matches the omen of the dream.

当时道俗风骚者睹希有事。篇什赞美者多矣。初入天台一住九年。传中但记见定光华顶头陀讲净名放生等事。又初住瓦官八年。但记济忍琼诏降叹之事。然传有四本。大体此传甚略。惜哉无闻也。 诩后还都。别坐余事。因系延慰。临当伏法。遥想先师愿申一救。其夜梦群鱼巨亿不可称计。皆吐沫濡。诩明旦降。来特原诩罪。 计公之罪未见因由。延慰即今司理官。慰者。汉百官志云。凡是武官皆有此职。原者。凡罪考信根原。罪不合者皆悉舍之。 当于午时忽起瑞云。黄紫赤白状如月晕。凝于虚空遥盖寺顶。又黄雀群飞翾动嘈囋。栖集檐宇半日方去。师云。江鱼化为黄雀来此谢恩耳。师遣门人惠拔金陵表闻。降陈宣帝来云。严禁采捕。永为放生之池。 百录徐陵书末纸云。陵和南。放生得闻公家极相随喜事。是拔公口具。谨不多咨祖师。又与镇将解拔国书云。仍以此事表白前陈。来云。此江若无乌[则/虫]珍味。宜依所请。永为福池。恐宣帝好啖此物。以为珍味。故有此言也。 陈东宫问徐陵曰。天台功德谁为制碑。答云。愿神笔玉着。会宣帝崩。不复得就。来国子祭酒徐孝兄以树高碑。碑今在山。览者堕泪。 东宫亦曰春宫 现代汉语译本：郡守钱玄智都著书感叹这件事，但因为文字过于繁多，这里就不记载了。 当时，很多僧人和俗人都亲眼目睹了这件罕见的事情，写诗作文赞美的人非常多。智顗大师最初到天台山，一住就是九年。传记中只记载了他见到定光（Dìngguāng，佛名，意为‘定光佛’）和华顶（Huádǐng，地名，指华顶峰）的头陀（Tóutuó，佛教苦行僧）讲《净名经》（Jìngmíng Jīng，《维摩诘所说经》的简称）以及放生等事。之后又初住瓦官寺（Wǎguānsì，寺庙名）八年，只记载了济忍（Jìrěn，人名）和琼诏（Qióngzhào，人名）降临感叹的事情。然而，关于智顗大师的传记有四个版本，总体来说这个传记非常简略，可惜没有更详细的记载。 诩（Xǔ，人名）后来回到都城，因为其他事情牵连到延慰（Yánwèi，人名），面临被处决。他遥想先师智顗大师，希望能够得到救助。当天晚上，他梦见无数的鱼，多到无法计数，都吐出泡沫来濡湿他。诩第二天被释放，是因为有人特赦了他的罪行。 关于计公（Jìgōng，人名）的罪行，没有看到具体的原因。延慰就是现在的司理官。慰这个词，根据《汉百官志》（Hàn Bǎiguān Zhì）记载，凡是武官都有这个职位。原的意思是，凡是罪行经过考证，如果罪名不成立，都应该被赦免。 在午时，忽然出现祥瑞的云彩，呈现出黄色、紫色、红色和白色，形状如同月晕，凝聚在空中，遥遥地覆盖着寺庙的顶部。同时，黄雀成群地飞舞，喧闹地鸣叫，栖息在屋檐上，过了半天才离开。智顗大师说：‘江里的鱼化为黄雀来这里谢恩啊。’智顗大师派遣门人惠拔（Huìbá，人名）到金陵（Jīnlíng，地名，今南京）上表奏闻。陈宣帝（Chén Xuāndì，人名，陈朝皇帝）下令说：‘严禁捕捞，永远作为放生池。’ 百录徐陵（Bǎilù Xúlíng，人名）的书末尾写道：‘徐陵在和南（Hénán，地名），听说放生的事情，公家非常随喜。’这是惠拔亲自陈述的。不再多咨询祖师了。又给镇将解拔（Jiěbá，人名）的国书上写道：‘仍然将这件事上表给前陈（Qián Chén，朝代名）。’陈宣帝回复说：‘这条江如果不是乌[则/虫]（wūzé，水产动物）的珍贵美味，就应该按照所请，永远作为福池。’恐怕陈宣帝喜欢吃这种东西，认为它是珍贵的美味，所以才说了这样的话。 陈东宫（Chén Dōnggōng，人名，太子）问徐陵说：‘天台山的功德，谁来制作碑文？’徐陵回答说：‘希望用神笔来撰写。’后来陈宣帝驾崩，这件事就没有完成。后来国子祭酒徐孝兄（Xú Xiàoxiōng，人名）立了一块高大的石碑。石碑现在还在山上，看到的人都会流泪。 东宫也称为春宫（Chūngōng，指太子居住的宫殿）。
