摘　　要：Piling Canon refers to a woodblock-printed Chinese Buddhist Canon during the late Qing Dynasty.Despite its historical significance,it has received limited attention from the academia,as its discovery took place after the turn of the 21st century.This study explores the background,supervisor,proofreader,engravers,donors,and other factors that contributed to the publication of the Piling Canon.It was supervised by Buddhist monk Qingrong in Changzhou Tianning Monastery from 1908 to 1926,due to the commission of Yang Wenhui.By investigating the historical records in the colophons of Piling Canon,we found that engraving locations are distributed in Hubei,Yangzhou,and Danyang which engravers operated in groups;the majority of donors were found to be individuals and group forms,social fundraising was included as well.It is noteworthy that Sheng Xuanhuai made a significant contribution in terms of funding.Furthermore,the production of the Piling Canon confirms to the commence of Buddhism revival,as Buddhist scriptures in Jiangnan regions were almost destroyed after the Taiping Rebellion.The research shed light on extensive participation of cultural celebrities,diverse donation forms,and excellent engraving,offering a vivid depiction of Buddhist belief and social landscape in Jiangnan region.
