History of Yuan, Chapter 171Volume 171 Biographies 58: Liu Yin, Wu Cheng · 26 passages
至元十三年,民初附,盜賊所在蜂起,樂安鄭松,招澄居布水穀,乃著《孝經章句》,校定《易》、《書》、《詩》、《春秋》 、《儀禮》及大、小《戴記》。 In the thirteenth year of Zhiyuan (1276), when the people had just submitted to Yuan rule, bandits swarmed everywhere. Zheng Song of Le'an invited Cheng to live at Bushui Valley, where he wrote Explications of the Filial Classic and collated the Changes, Documents, Odes, Spring and Autumn, Rites, and the Record of Rites of the Elder and Younger Dai.
