Articles by the above discussion thus shows the characteristics of Zen Hongzhou were: First, the autonomy of the subject as the spirit of play, emphasizing the practice of meditation is the main determining factor, the main body of consciousness is the meditation of the internal basis, advocated direct refers to people's minds, any vertical concentric, full play the dynamic role of consciousness. Second, to promote the principles of natural practice of Marxism, that the operation of people's daily behavior is inherent Buddha nature of all the show, all are眞, thus special attention to storage of repose, any transport natural, in the natural operation to achieve self-transcendence. Third, the performance is a distinct tendency of secular life, were to promote this natural life Suishun Zen, claims to achieve than in real life the sacred purpose.

The Hong Zhou sect was a branch of Zen thinking propagated by Matzu Dao-yi and his followers. The sect's ideology was advocated by Ma-tzu Dao-yi and his disciples Bai-jiang Huai-Hai, Dazhu Hui-hai. It was also advocated by Huai-hai's disciples Huang-bo Xi-yun and Gui-shan Ling-you. Finally, it was advocated by Ling-you's disciple Yang-shan Hui-ji, among others. The sect's main tenet held that "the calm mind is the Dao ".

Any sect emphasizing this direct, intuitive understanding of the subject has no use for a broad-based analytic approach to knowledge. In a cultivation methodology with no set norms, knowledge is expressed in such things as riddles and rousing people into understanding. This they did to prove the inability of language in coming to understand the Dao
