I-ching’s work is 690-692 A.D. and Piao’s reading is probably early eighth century, both fairly late for the study of tones in their primordial state.

Jikaku, the third chief priest of the Tendai school, was in China from 838 until 847 and witnessed the persecution of Emperor Wu-tsung as well as the events leading up to it and the aftermath.
In the passage, Jikaku also mentions that prior to the persecution Emperor Wu-tsung had commissioned a monk named Ching-shuan to propagate the nembutsu, but this seemingly meritorious act was followed by Uighur invasions, the revolt of a regional commander, and the insubordination of Tibet.
