Chronicle of the journey made by a Buddhist monk named Hwui Shan who arrived to Fusang, probably Mesoamerica, between AD 499 and AD 548 and returned to China when he was 90 years old. In AD 629, a group of official historians from the court of the Liang dynasty documented the extraordinary journey of five monks and their descriptions of the Fusang. Ma Taulin or Ma Twan-lin's historical encyclopedia called Wen-hsien t'ung-K'ao (“Investigations of Antiques”), published by Mongol emperor Jintsung around 1321, also included excerpts from the Book of Liang or Liáng Shū. This article also documents the Mexican official reluctance to be open to the possibility of initiating true research on this topic since the existing one hurts some kind of nationalistic pride of Mexican anthropologists and prevents to dig into, through multidisciplinary research, the possibility of some Asian cultural interaction in Mesoamerica.
