Yu Jing's Wu Xi Ji has some wonderful expositions on Confucianism and Buddhism. He praised Buddhism for "no punishment but prestige, no nobility but persuasion, those who return are like the stream of the river, and those who go away are inexhaustible". He also praised Confucianism for its indifference, "there are people who accumulate good and meet disaster, and those who accumulate evil and receive happiness, though they have benevolence and wisdom, there is nothing like that.". He believes that Confucianism and Buddhism do not contradict each other: "Confucianism rules the world with propriety and law, which makes people move from good to evil, and Buddhism instructs the future with cause and effect, which makes people cultivate happiness and avoid disaster.".

One call, one sound, one sound, one sound is eternal injustice. Sparse smoke moon tree, light rain falling village.
Easy to fall will dry tears, can hurt the soul. Name rein from bundle, for Er Yi home.

[mountain hall]
Wild hall depression late, with Xuan to bamboo leaf. The trees are old in autumn, and the birds return with the setting sun.
Far Xiu wear cloud green, she field rain fertilizer. Who delivers wine to Yuanming? The chrysanthemum flies around the wall.
