A study into old documents of Japanese Buddhist Temples outflew to China in the Meiji period.

本研究项目获得的主要观点如下：(1)明治维新后，中国收藏者系统地收集了大量的旧文献并寄往中国。特别是清朝总领事李淑昌和领事官杨守敬，收集了大量有关日本佛教寺庙的资料，并寄给了中国。这些文件在中国被人传阅，然而，它们在战争或灾难造成的消失的危险中幸存下来。我们的实地调查确定了这些文件的位置。(2)本研究项目发现，有关京都高山寺的旧文献现藏于中国湖北州某博物馆。这一发现为相关研究领域提供了重要的见解。在明治时期的反佛运动中，不仅各种文献，而且各种器物、绘画等产品也被从寺庙中取出，在古董市场上出售。(3)通过查阅这些文献，我们发现这些文献虽然是从日本传入中国的，但中国人认为它们是敦煌的佛经。这些文献显然是日本的手抄经书，但却与其他中国经书混杂在一起。这是一个意想不到的发现，应该尽快进行研究。

The main points which this research project acquired are as followed :(1)After the Meiji Restoration, Chinese collectors systematically accumulated a number of old documents and sent to China. Especially a consul general of Qing, Li shu chang, and a consular officer, Yang shou jing, collected a significant amount of documents regarding Buddhist temples in Japan and forward to China. These documents were passed from hand to hand within China, however, they survived through a danger of disappearance caused by war or disaster. Our field research enabled to define the location of these documents.(2)This research project found out that old documents on Kozanji temple in Kyoto were now located in a museum in hu bei prefecture in China. This discovery gives a significant insight to related fields of studies. The anti-Buddhist movement in the Meiji period, not only documents of various kinds, but also various utensils and goods, and drawings and other products were removed from temples and sold away in antique markets.(3)By searching these documents, we found that although they were brought into China from Japan, they were considered as Buddhist scriptures from dun huang amongst Chinese people. These documents are obviously Japanese hand-copied sutra, nevertheless, they are possessed mixed with other Chinese sutra. This was such an unexpected finding which should be studied as soon as possible.
