This chapter develops and elaborates on the general discussion about the formation, classification, and character of the various Chan genres presented in chapter 4. In a sense, it can be viewed as a continuation of the previous chapter. It introduces and examines in detail each of the four main literary genres: record of sayings, transmission of the lamp chronicle, gong’an collection, and Chan monastic code.
