Many scholars come up with their opinions of the relationship between the Song Buddhism and feudal official finance, of whom Zeng Gong and Su Shi are examples.

Their different ways are closely related with their personality and official careers. Zeng's preciseness in handling affairs and Su's tolerance are in evident comparison for Zeng works as a historian while Su works as a governor.
