Complete Writings of the Pure and
Bright [Way of] Loyalty and Filialty
TheJingming zhongxiao quanshu (CT IlIO) is a collection of hagiographies to-
gether with transcriptions of the revealed and oral teachings associated with
the school of the Jingming zhongxiao dao YJ BJ] ,Ii!;', 1'f:-ifi (Pure and Bright Way
of Loyalty and Filiality; see *Jingming dao) based at the *Yulong wanshou
gong (Palace of the Ten-thousand-fold Longevity of Jade Beneficence) hon-

by Zhang Gui 5~ It (1264- 1327), Zhao Shiyan M1 tit g (I260- I336), Yu Ji lJi ~
(1272-I348), Teng Bin ~~ 15:, Zeng Xunshen W ~ $ , Peng Ye Ji3,f (f1. I323),
and XU Hui himself. These prefaces convey a sense of the Ming literati's high
regard for the Jingming school as an endorsement of the long-standing code
of ethics identified with Confucius and his following. Some also provide clues
to the complex history of the anthology. Zeng, for example, states that the
collection of writings he received from Huang in I323 had first been published
two decades earlier. Xu Hui begins his story with a meeting that he and a
