The *Commentary on the Four-Part Vinaya* was composed by the Tang dynasty eminent monk Fali and serves as an important text for the study of Buddhist monastic discipline. Based on the *Four-Part Vinaya*, this work systematically elucidates the rules of conduct and guidelines for practice for both monks and nuns. In his commentary, Fali integrated the scholarly achievements of Vinaya studies of his time, emphasizing the analysis of precepts and practical guidance, which profoundly influenced the development of the Vinaya School during the Tang dynasty. As one of the foundational commentaries of Chinese Vinaya Buddhism, it not only contributed to the refinement of the Buddhist disciplinary system in China but also provided authoritative reference for later studies of monastic discipline, holding an irreplaceable position in Chinese Buddhism.
