Liu Benzun Buddhism, which was popular in eastern Sichuan during the Southern Song Dynasty, had a profound influence on the local folk society. Liu's deeds are rarely recorded in official historical records, mainly in folk inscriptions, inscriptions of carving statues and local Chronicles. Among them, there are relatively detailed records about Liu Benzun in both the Biography of Liu Benzun rewritten by Zujue, Zen master of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the inscriptions of Tableau of Liu Benzun' s Ten Austerities. The rest are available in inscriptions and local Chronicles from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Through collation and research of Liu's historical documents, it lays a foundation for a comprehensive understanding of Liu Benzun's historical deeds and their social influence.
