元帝嘗著金樓子，曰：「余於諸僧重招提琰法師，隱士重華陽陶貞白，士大夫重汝南周弘正，其於義理，清轉無窮，亦一時之名士也。」 Emperor Yuan once wrote in Master of the Golden Tower: "Among monks, I esteem Master Yan of Zhaoti; among recluses, Tao Hongjing of Huayang; among gentlemen, Zhou Hongzheng of Runan. Hongzheng's exposition of principle is lucid, fluent, and inexhaustible; he too is a distinguished scholar of his age."
