A famous scriptural press 刻經處 founded by Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 in the late Qing
In 1866, Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 and some of his friends began printing Buddhist sūtras. At first, this work was done by hand. In 1874, they set up a permanent building to house the woodblocks they had carved, and in 1897 (Guāngxù 光緒 23) they formally established the Jīnlíng Scriptural Press in Yánlíng alley 延齡巷, in the northern part of Nánjīng 南京.[1] In the 1900s, this press printed a large number of texts that had been lost in China, but which Yáng's friend Nanjō Bunyū 南條文雄 sent him from Japan. The press printed tens of millions of sheets of su1tras numbering in the millions of juàn 卷.[2]
In 1908 Yáng opened the Jetavana Monastery 祇洹精舍 here, which ran for two years.
After Yáng's death in 1911, the press was taken over by his disciples Ōuyáng Jìngwú 歐陽竟無, Chén Xīān 陳樨庵, and Chén Yífǔ 陳宜甫. Three years later, Ōuyáng established the China Inner Studies Academy 支那內學院 here.
With the founding of the PRC, Yuányīng 圓瑛, Yīngcí 應慈, Zhào Pòchū 趙朴初, and Fāng Zǐfān 方子藩 organized a group to revive the press. They gathered and brought to Nanjing roughly 50,000 woodblocks from the Tiānjīn Scriptural Press 天津刻經處, Běijīng Scriptural Press 北京刻經處, the Three Times Study Association 三時學會, and the Jiāngběi Scriptural Press 江北刻經處. In 1957, the press was taken over by the Chinese Buddhist Association 中國佛家協會. At this point the press held approximately 150,000 woodblocks.[3]
