Juéshè cóngshū 覺社叢書 (Awakening Society Collectanea) was one of the earliest Buddhist periodicals in China, and later became Hǎicháo yīn 海潮音 (Voice of the Sea Tide), the longest-running Chinese Buddhist periodical.

Juéshè cóngshū was established as an organ of the Awakening Society 覺社, which had been founded in Shànghǎi in the summer of 1918 by Tàixū 太虛, with help from Shǐ Yīrú 史一如, Chén Yuánbái 陳元白, Jiǎng Zuòbīn 蔣作賓, and Huáng Bǎocāng 黃葆蒼. The group had published two works by Tàixū, Dàodé lùnhéng 道德論衡 (Discourse on Morality) and Léngyán shèlùn 楞嚴攝論 (Select Commentary on the Śūraṃgama Sūtra). These two publications eventually became the seed for Awakening Society Collectania. It was published quarterly, averaging about 150 pages per issue, and was printed by the Zhōnghuá Book Company 中華書局. It was relatively liberal, and provided an early platform for many of Tàixū's reformist ideas. Topics discussed included literature and explanations of Buddhist terms, and Daoist and Confucian authors were also included.

MFQ and MFQB together have the full run of the periodical.
