The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions is a Buddhist geographical work dictated by the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty and compiled by his disciple Bianji, completed in the twentieth year of the Zhenguan era (646 CE). The entire work consists of twelve volumes, offering detailed accounts of the geography, history, religion, and customs of the 110 countries Xuanzang passed through on his journey westward in search of the Dharma, as well as 28 countries known through hearsay. It serves as a precious document for the study of the history and culture of Central and South Asia in the seventh century. As a significant text in the history of Buddhist transmission, this work not only records the sacred sites of Indian Buddhism and the development of its teachings but also illustrates the cultural exchanges along the Silk Road. Its rigorous documentary style and rich Buddhist historical materials have established it as a landmark work in the history of Chinese Buddhism, holding irreplaceable academic value for later studies of Buddhism and cultural exchanges between China and foreign lands.
