Periodical Portal

There were over 200 Buddhist periodicals published in China from 1850 to 1950. Of these, many only appeared for a single issue or a very short run, but many continued to be published over decades. These publications were an important means of communication among people interested in Buddhism, a conduit for new ideas, debates and controversies, and information about the wider world of Buddhist culture.

Many periodical issues have been made available in two multi-volume reprint editions: The Mínguó fójiào qíkān wénxiàn jíchéng 民國佛教期刊文獻集成 (MFQ) and its supplement the MFQB. See the MFQ Guide for more information on the provenance of these resources.

We are currently working on 52 periodical articles. This list can be ordered alphabetically by pīnyīn title or by the date of first publication.

Gregory Adam Scott is the Periodical section editor.
