《中国佛寺志丛刊》即将由江苏广陵古籍刻印社出版,1995年年内出齐。这套丛刊汇集了国内现存的数百种佛教寺志与山志,其中多有明、清两代善本,有些稿本、抄本,也有各大图书馆馆藏孤本。全部影印出版。从版本精良这一点来说,可说是二十年代商务印书馆影印《四部丛刊》以来,郑振铎先生倡导影印《古本戏曲丛刊》以后,国内专业化的古籍影印的又一次大结集。从史料价值这一点来说,可以用“极高”两个字来作为短评。自陈垣先生《中国佛教史籍概论》一书行世后,中国人所著佛教典籍之有裨于广泛的历史研究,渐成为文史学界的共识。但是,对中国佛教方志的发掘,包括对其本身的认识与发掘,以及对其中史料的广泛利用,可说远远不够。本丛刊的出版,预计将大大改变这种沉寂和停滞不前的现状。它不但使人们对寺院的兴废、盛衰及其历史地理沿革,对佛教各宗派的源流和宗嗣传承等会有更深广与明确的认识;还可藉以亲近历代高僧大德,更多地了解他们的传化和感应事迹,读到许多不经见的诗文。至于历代政治、经济、文化与佛教的关系,各朝代各地区的人文民俗,其中记载尤多珍异待发掘的材料。
“Chinese Buddhist Temple Series” is about to be published by Jiangsu Guangling Ancient Books Engraving Society, which will be released in 1995. This series brings together hundreds of Buddhist monographs and mountain records that exist in the country. Among them, there are many rare books in the Ming and Qing dynasties, some scripts and transcripts, as well as the librarianship of major libraries. All photocopies published. From the point of view of the excellent version, it can be said that since the publication of the “Four Series of Books” of the Commercial Press in the 1920s, Mr. Zheng Zhenduo has once again advocated the photocopying of the “Ancient Chinese Opera Series,” and another large-scale collection of the domestic specialized ancient books and photocopies. From the historical value of this point, you can use the word “very high” as a short comment. Since Mr. Chen Yuan’s introduction of An Introduction to the History of Chinese Buddhism, the Chinese history of Buddhist books has become a consensus of history of literature and history. However, it is far from enough that the excavations of Chinese Buddhist chores, including their own understanding and excavation, as well as the extensive use of historical materials therein, are not enough. The publication of this series is expected to drastically change the status quo of silence and stagnation. It not only enables people to rejuvenate, rise and fall of the monasteries and their historical and geographical evolution, but also deepens and clarifies the origin and inheritance of the various sects of Buddhism. It also enables them to get acquainted with the great monks of ancient dynasties and learn more about them The transmission and induction deeds, read many unseen poetry. As for the history of politics, economy, culture and Buddhism, the various regions of the dynasties of humanities and customs, which records the more exotic to be excavated material.
