Tiānjīn Scriptural Press (Tiānjīn kè jīng chǔ 天津刻經處)

History

A scriptural press 刻經處 Founded by Xú Wèirú 徐蔚如 in 1919. It printed something on the order of two-thousand different juàn 卷 worth of scriptures. The Press' emphases were 1) Huáyán 華嚴, and 2) Texts related to the Vinaya. At one point it published a periodical associated with a school run by Hóngyī 弘一.

After the founding of the PRC, the woodblocks belonging to this press, like those of a number of other presses, were relocated to the Jīnlíng Scriptural Press 金陵刻經處 in Nánjīng 南京.
