Huáng is best known for his history of Chinese Buddhism 中國佛教史 published in 1940, based on that of Jiǎng Wéiqiáo 蔣維喬 published in 1929, which was in turn based on 支那仏教史綱 by Sakaino Satoru 境野哲 published in 1907.
Biography
Huáng moved to Nánjīng with his father and lived there from an early age. He traveled to Japan twice to study, graduating from the law department of Nihon University 日本大学法科 and the philosophy department of Imperial University 帝国大学哲学科.
In 1914 he heard Oūyáng Jìngwú 歐陽竟無 lecture at the Jinling Scriptural Press 金陵課經處, and before long became a student of Oūyáng.
In 1928 he was invited, along with Xiè Jiàn 謝健, Rénshān 仁山, Táiyuán 台源 and others, to form the executive committee of the Chinese Buddhist Studies Association 中國佛學會 established by Tàixū 太虛.
