，。As they talked, before they knew it they had already arrived at the outskirts.，，，。Sanzang dismounted, crossed the drawbridge, and went straight in through the gate onto the long street, where he saw two old men sitting under a veranda chatting.：「，，，。Sanzang called out, "Disciples, stand still there in the middle of the street, keep your heads down, and don't be unruly.，。」。Wait while I go over to that veranda and ask where we are." Xingzhe indeed did as told and stood still.，：「，。」，，，，，。The elder went forward, pressed his palms together, and called out, "Venerable benefactors, this poor monk greets you." The two old men were just then chatting idly about matters of rise and decline, gain and loss, who was sage and who was worthy, and where the heroic deeds of former times were now — truly sighing greatly over it all.，：「？」：「，，。Suddenly hearing a greeting spoken, they returned the courtesy at once, saying, "Elder, what do you have to say?" Sanzang said, "This poor monk has come from afar to pay homage to the Buddha. I have just arrived in your esteemed region and do not know what place this is.，？」：「。Where might there be a household inclined to good deeds, from whom I could beg a meal?" The old man said, "This humble place of ours is Tongtai Prefecture.，。Behind the prefecture there is a county called Dilingxian.，，，，，，『』。Elder, if you wish to eat a vegetarian meal, there is no need to go begging for alms — past this memorial archway, on the north-south street, facing east with its back to the west, there is a gate tower shaped like a crouching tiger; that is the home of Squire Kou. Before his gate hangs a placard reading 'Ten Thousand Monks Never Turned Away.'，。A monk from afar like yourself may enjoy it to the full.！Go!！Go!！Go!。」。Don't interrupt our conversation." Sanzang thanked him.：「。He turned and said to Xingzhe, "This place is Dilingxian county of Tongtai Prefecture.：『，，，「」。』。」：「，。Those two old men said: Past this archway, on the north-south street, at an east-facing tiger-crouch gate tower, is the home of Squire Kou, before whose gate hangs a placard reading 'Ten Thousand Monks Never Turned Away.' They told me to go to his home to eat." Sha Seng said, "The Western regions are the land of the Buddha — there really are those who feed monks.，，，。」Since this place is a prefecture and county, there's no need to have our travel rescript inspected — let's go beg some food to eat, and then we can be on our way."

，，：「。」。When the elder arrived there and was about to bow, the squire again held him back, saying, "Please remove your Buddhist robe." Sanzang took off his cassock.。Only then did he formally greet the elder.。He then invited Xingzhe and the other two to greet him as well.，，。He also had the horse fed and the luggage set down under the veranda, and only then asked after their well-being.：「。Sanzang said, "This poor monk is an imperial envoy from the Great Tang of the Land of the East, sent to your esteemed region on the way to Vulture Peak, to see the Buddha and seek the true scriptures.，，。」，：「，，。Hearing that your honored household reveres monks, I have come to pay my respects and to beg a meal before continuing on." The squire's face lit up with joy, and smiling broadly he said, "This disciple's humble name is Kou Hong, courtesy name Dakuan, and I have wasted sixty-four years of life.，，。Since the age of forty I have vowed to feed ten thousand monks before I would consider the vow fulfilled.，。Now I have been feeding monks for twenty-four years, and I keep a ledger recording the account of it.，，，，。These past few days, having nothing else to do, I reckoned up the names of the monks I had fed, and found I had already fed nine thousand nine hundred ninety-six — lacking only four more to complete the vow.，。Today, as if sent down from Heaven, you four venerable masters have arrived, completing the full number of ten thousand monks.，，，。Please tell me your honored names, and by all means stay at your ease for a month or more. Once the vow is fulfilled, this disciple will provide sedan chairs and horses to see you venerable masters on your way up the mountain.，。」，，。From here to Vulture Peak it is only eight hundred li — hardly far at all." Hearing this, Sanzang was greatly pleased, and for the time being they all agreed to stay — but no more of that for now.

，，，，，：「，？」：「，，，。His several household servants, both grown and young, went about the house carrying firewood and fetching water, taking out rice, flour, and vegetables, and preparing the vegetarian meal, which suddenly stirred the squire's wife, who asked, "Where have these monks come from, that everyone is in such a rush?" A servant said, "Just now four eminent monks arrived. Master asked after their circumstances, and they said they were sent by the Emperor of the Great Tang of the Land of the East, on their way to Vulture Peak to pay homage to the Buddha.，。How great a distance they have traveled to reach us here, no one knows.，，。」，：「，。」：「，，，。」：「，，，。Master says they were sent down from Heaven, and told us to prepare the meal quickly and provide for them." Hearing this, the old woman too was delighted, and called to her maid, "Bring my clothes so I may dress — I will go and take a look too." The servant said, "Madam, only one of them is fit to look at; the other three are not — their appearance is very ugly." The old woman said, "You wouldn't understand — however ugly and strange their appearance, however odd and outlandish, they must surely be heavenly beings come down into the world.。」，：「，。」，。Go quickly first and tell your master." The servant ran to the scripture hall and said to the squire, "Madam has arrived, and wishes to pay her respects to the masters from the Land of the East." Hearing this, Sanzang at once rose from his seat.，。Before he had finished rising, the old woman had already arrived before the hall.，。Raising her eyes, she saw that Tang Seng's countenance was noble and dignified, his bearing outstanding and impressive.，，，。Turning to look, she saw that the appearance of Xingzhe and the other two was extraordinary, and though she knew they must be heavenly beings come down to earth, she still felt a measure of fear, and knelt down to bow to them.：「。」：「，？」：「。」！Sanzang hastily returned the courtesy, saying, "You trouble yourself, Bodhisattva, with excessive reverence." The old woman asked the squire, "Why do the four masters not sit together?" Bajie, puckering his mouth, said, "The three of us are disciples." Ai-ya!，，。That single utterance of his was like a tiger's roar deep in the mountains, and it frightened the old lady all the more.

What it’s about

In Bronze-Platform Prefecture the wealthy layman Kou welcomes Sanzang's party with exceptional generosity. He has vowed to feed ten thousand monks and discovers that Sanzang completes the number. Kou celebrates the fulfillment with vegetarian banquets, lodging and gifts, hoping to keep the pilgrims for many days. His household turns hospitality into a joyful religious achievement rather than another attempt to eat, marry or imprison the scripture seeker.

After several days Sanzang insists on continuing and refuses the gold and fine goods Kou presses upon him. He accepts only practical provisions, while the host reluctantly stages an elaborate farewell and follows the party far down the road. Their affectionate delay attracts the attention of bandits, who infer that such honored guests must have left treasure behind. The pilgrims' freedom from wealth is genuine, but the public performance of patronage creates a dangerous story about riches in their wake.

When it was written 背景

Supporting monks is a major field of Buddhist merit, and Kou's numerical vow makes Sanzang's arrival feel like the providential completion of a lifetime practice. Yet merit is tested by attachment: the host wants his generosity visibly acknowledged, while Sanzang must receive kindness without becoming detained or enriched by it. Learners should follow 寇員外, 萬僧, 布施 and 不貪. The chapter treats hospitality warmly while showing how conspicuous virtue can be misread within a world still governed by appetite.
