This refers to a Buddhist canon, which was reprinted as a 500-volume photographic reprint in Shànghǎi 上海 in 1935. Compilation of this canon was likely begun in the Sòng 宋 Dynasty, in 1216, and completed by 1322, in the Yuán 元 Dynasty.[1]
In 1929, Zhū Zǐqiáo 朱子橋 discovered a nearly complete edition of this canon in Xī'ān's 西安 Wòlóng Temple 臥龍寺 and Kai1yuán Temple 開元寺. He went to Shànghǎi, where, with the help of Dīng Fúbǎo 丁福保, Jiǎng Wéiqiáo 蔣維喬, Lǐ Jīngwěi 李經緯, and others, he established an organization to publish photoprint copies of that canon. This group dispatched the monk Fànchéng 範成 to search around Shānxī 山西 to find the rest of the canon. Fànchéng unearthed a Jīn 金 Dynasty edition at Guǎngshèng Temple 廣勝寺 in Zhàochéng County 趙城縣, which was used to fill in the missing pieces of the Sòng canon.
The reprint contains a preface written by Oūyáng Jiàn 歐陽漸.
