Felbur opines tentatively that the preface to the Chu yao jing T212 was probably written by Sengrui 僧叡. The preface itself states it was authored by Sengrui (弘始元年八月十二日僧叡造首), and Felbur holds that this note seems not to have been added later, even as he acknowledges that the note is anomalous. Felbur also judges the style and vocabulary to be similar to Sengrui's other works. Ouyi Zhixu also regarded the preface as his.

Felbur translates the preface to this text, which is attributed to Sengrui and preserved in CSZJJ as well as T586 itself. Among the prefaces by Sengrui, Felbur tentatively places this one as the first chronologically, on the basis of a date cited by Daoxuan in DTNDL. Claiming Er Qin lu 二秦錄 as his source, Daoxuan dates the Siyi jing to the 1st day of the 10th month of the 4th year of Hongshi (=Nov 10, 402 CE). This information is then repeated in DZKZM and KYL.
