Frontispiece: HO SHANG FEN—SEPARATION OF THE PRIESTS.

In the early centuries of the Christian Era, when Buddhism was well established in China, the priests held a conference here and concluded that the Old Patriarch should be appointed as the last of the patriarchs, and they separated into the Provinces.

This historic spot is about five miles south of Kiukiang, near the foot of the lofty Lii Mountains, close by the road that leads to Kuling.
