    • 2013, Adeline Herrou, translated by Livia Kohn, A World of Their Own: Daoist Monks and Their Community in Contemporary China[1], Three Pines Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 77:
      The initial motivation to go on a pilgrimage is also often twofold: one cannot pass Hanzhong without going to the Zhangliangmiao in Liuba County, and it is good to go to a holy place if one has a sick mother or a child of marriageable age.

      On arriving in Hanzhong, Yongbao rushed into the Qinling Mountains to fight Zhang Hanchao. [] When the two met at the seat of Liuba county after the battle, they quarreled bitterly: Yongbao accused Mingliang of not having come to his rescue sooner, and Mingliang blamed Yongbao for being defeated by the rebels.
