It is organized as a dialogue between a Daoist, the \"Venerable Obstructed by Customs\" (\u003ci\u003ezhisu gongzi\u003c\/i\u003e 滯俗公子), and the Buddhist\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\"Master Revealing the Correct\"\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003ezhenzheng xiansheng\u003c\/i\u003e 甄正先生) in which the former is gradually led towards an orthodox Buddhist understanding by the latter through the refutation of his various arguments against Buddhism. Composed in the late 7th century, the text was authored depending on the political interests and strategies of Wu Zhao武曌 (624–705), who in 690 was enthroned as Empress Wu Zetian 武則天.
