Minghe went through hardships and wrote a 26 volume manuscript titled Buxu Gaoseng-zhuan,which made great contributions to the study of the lives of monks,but it also had some errors.Comparing the text of the Buxu Gaosengzhuan with the original materials used by Minghe,it can be found that the Buxu Gaosengzhuan has problems such as inappropriate abridgment,incorrect timing,inaccurate selections and avoidance of taboos.The Buxu Gaosengzhuan has only the engraved version of Mao Jin.U-sing other books to proofread it can correct mistakes of the Mao Jin version such as erroneous,omitted,redundant,and inverted texts.
