〈(《澠水燕談》:範質初舉進士,時和凝知貢舉,凝嘗以宰輔自期,登第之日,名第十三人,及覽質文,尤加賞嘆,即以第十三名處之,場屋間謂之「傳衣缽」,若禪宗之相付授也。 〈From Talks and Tales of the Mian Waters〉: When Fan Zhi first sat for the Jinshi, He Ning oversaw the examinations. Ning had long expected the chief ministership; on the day he passed, his own name was thirteenth. Reading Zhi's essay he admired it still more and placed him thirteenth. In the hall they called this "passing the robe and bowl," as in Chan succession.
