Publication of The JiaXing Tripitaka and its Influences

本研究的目的是以实证的方式阐明围绕《嘉兴行传》出版的以下问题：（1）《嘉兴行传》是在什么样的项目下、出于什么样的目的出版的，其经费来源是什么，谁是《嘉兴行传》的名义负责人，谁是《嘉兴行传》出版的真实的推动者;（2）《柯藏元集》的成书过程、发行方式和影响。关于第一个问题，《柯藏元集》中的一些文献提供了有价值的信息。研究表明，该出版物的目的是使一个廉价和可行的版本在折叠装订。它将帮助生活在佛教后期的人们认识它的真实形象，并通过劝诫他们实践佛法，引导他们进入一种开明的心态。 ...更多信息 佛的力量以适合每个人的情况和品质的方式。该出版物的资金被理解为基于支持者的捐款，但意见分歧，其中一些人试图依靠强大的捐助者的大量捐款迅速出版该集合，而另一些人则倾向于推迟该项目，等待穷人的小额订阅积累。关于第二个问题，《家兴藏目录》和各卷末的书稿提供了有价值的信息。我们对它们的研究揭示了以下事实。从一开始，似乎大家都认为应在严格规则的统一原则下制定权威性法规。然而，这显然并不总是得到遵守;虽然规则的再确认至少重复了三次，但它们似乎并没有得到一贯的坚持，导致整个《大藏经》缺乏形式上的统一。出版的成本是巨大的，但只要支付少量的纸张、印刷和装订的实际费用，就可以很容易地购买到副本，从而实现了最初的目标。虽然在中国，出版的《大藏经》并不总是被用作编制后续版本的佛教经文的基础，但在日本，当Tetsugan出版巴库版本时，它被用作基础文本。少

The objectives of the research are to elucidate, based on concrete evidence, the following problems surrounding the publication of the The JiaXing Triptaka: (1) Under what project and with what purposes the texts were published as well as the sources of the fund that made such a project possible and who were its figureheads and who the real promoters of the publication; (2) the actual processes (of establishing authoritative texts, preparation of fair copies, engraving, proof-reading, and publication), the manner of distribution, and the influences of the published collection.As to the first problem, a number of documents contained in Ke Zang Yuangi have provided valuable information. The research has revealed that the objective of the publication was to make a cheap and workable edition in folded binding available. It will help people who were living in the latter days of Buddhism realize its true image and lead them to an enlightened state of mind by exhorting them to practice teachi … More ngs of Buddha in a way suitable to the situation and qualities of each individual. The funding of the publication was understood to be based on donations from supporters but opinions were divided between those who tried to publish the collection Quickly relying on large contributions from potent benefactors and those who inclined to delaying the project, waiting for the accumulation of small subscriptions from the poor. Differences of opinion and policies among the figureheads and actual promoters had become apparent.As to the problems concerning the second subject, the JiaXingZang Mulu and the colophons at the end of each volume offer valuable information. Our research into them has revealed the following facts. At the outset, the view that the establishment of authoritative texts should be pursued under a unifying principle of strict rules seems to have been shared. However, this apparently had not always been adhered to; though reconfirmation of the rules were repeated at least three times, they seem to have been not consistently upheld, resulting in the lack of formal unity of the entire Tripitaka. The cost of publication was enormous but the copies could easily be purchased by defraying a small amount for actual expenses of paper, printing, and binding, thus achieving the primary objective.Though in China the published Tripitaka has not always been used as the basis in preparing subsequent editions of Buddhist scripts, in Japan it was used as the basic text when Tetsugan published the baku edition.
