Traditional Chan/Zen mythology holds Baizhang established an early set of rules for Chan (Chinese Zen) monastic discipline, the Pure Rules of Baizhang (), famous for the saying One day not work, one day not eat (一日不做一日不食). As the Zen monks farmed, it helped them to survive the Great Anti-Buddhist Persecution more than other sects which rely more on donations. The rules are used today in many Zen monasteries, but in reality these rules developed much later in Chan history, and are agreed by the monks Taixu and Hsu Yun.

Baizhang is remembered for the aphorism: "A day without work is a day without food." His teachings and sayings have been translated by Thomas Cleary in Sayings and Doings of Pai-Chang (1978). Another book translated by John Blofeld in 'The Zen Teachings of Instaneous Awakening (1987) Buddhist Publishing Group, Totnes, has been erroneously attributed by some to Baizhang Huaihai, but was in fact a work by his dharma brother, Ta-chu Hui-hai

The Wild fox koan is attributed to Baizhang.
