The *Newly Compiled Sound and Meaning Glossary for the Tripitaka*, compiled by the Later Jin dynasty monk Ke Hong in the 10th century, is an important work in Buddhist phonology and semantics. This text systematically addresses the graphic errors and pronunciation issues that arose during the transcription of Buddhist scriptures in the Tang dynasty. It provides annotations for difficult characters in the form of marginal notes, aiding monks of the time in reciting the sutras. The book contains a wealth of phonetic notations and variant character analyses, offering crucial evidence for the collation of the Buddhist canon. In the history of Buddhist philology, it serves as a bridge between past and future, deeply influencing the compilation of later official canons such as the Yongle Northern Canon. It remains a core document for studying the evolution of the language and script in Chinese Buddhist scriptures.
