Huisheng (monk)

Huisheng and Songyun both composed accounts of their travels. Huisheng's is variously known as The Travels of Huisheng {{nowrap|(t {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|惠|生|/|慧|生|行|傳}}》}},}} {{nowrap|s {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|惠|生|/|慧|生|行|传}}》}},}} {{translit|zh|Huìshēng Xíngzhuàn}}), The Record of Huisheng, Envoy to the Western Regions {{nowrap|(t {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|惠|生|/|慧|生|使|西域|傳}}》}},}} {{nowrap|s {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|惠|生|/|慧|生|使|西域|传}}》}},}} {{translit|zh|Huìshēng Shǐ Xīyù Zhuàn}}), and the Account of the Northern Wei Monk Huisheng, Envoy to the Western Regions {{nowrap|(t {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|北魏|僧|惠|生|/|慧|生|使|西域|記}}》}},}} {{nowrap|s {{lang|zh|《{{linktext|北魏|僧|惠|生|/|慧|生|使|西域|记}}》}},}} {{translit|zh|Běiwèi Sēng Huìshēng Shǐ Xīyù Jì}}). It and Songyun's record are now lost in the original, but were largely preserved through quotes and commentary in books by other authors. Samuel Beal's account was based on the version in the 5th book of Yang Xuanzhi's 6th-century History of the Temples of Luoyang.{{sfnp|Beal|1884|p=[https://archive.org/details/siyukibuddhistre01hsua/page/n109/mode/2up lxxxiv]}}
