There are four types of records about the writing time of The Gold Lion Chapter on Avatamsaka Sutra. The first saying is about that it was written in the first year of Tiance Wansui(695)which was obviously wrong for its presenting a wrong place and a wrong Sutra as the newly translated Avatamsaka Sutra. The second saying is about that this Chapter was written in the fourth year of Changan(705) which appeared only in A Rough Record of the Five Patriarchs by Xu’fa of Qing dynasty and cannot be trusted because of its time of appearance. The third saying is about that it was written in the second year of Shengli (699)which contained no contradiction with historical records or with common sense. The forth saying is about that it was written in the first year of Changan which appeared in Longxing Chronicle Records of Buddhism which was written earlier than other related books. As a conclusion, The Gold Lion Chapter on Avatamsaka Sutra was either written in the second year of Shengli(699) or in the first year of Chang’an.
