**Catalogue of the Jinjiang Chan Lamp** Compiled by the eminent Linji school monk Tongzui during the Qing Dynasty, this is a significant historical transmission in the Chan "lamp record" genre. Compiled in the early Qing period, the work primarily collects the encounter dialogues and biographies of successive Chan patriarchs and venerable masters who were active in the Sichuan region's Jinjiang River basin and surrounding areas, with a focus on recording the lineage transmission of the Linji school. Its contents trace back to the Tang and Song dynasties and extend to the early Qing, systematically outlining the developmental thread and lamp lineage transmission of Chan Buddhism in the Shu region. It holds extremely high historical value for researching regional Buddhist history, the spread of Chan lineages, and the character of Chan studies in the early Qing. This book is an important component of Chinese Chan historical texts, providing particularly crucial documentary evidence for researching the history of Chan Buddhism in the southwestern region.


No. 1589-E題辭
夫破顏微笑之旨。彌滿五天。自江槎分玉浪以來。始洋溢乎中國故金雞銜粟。馬駒踏人。貴乎見諦。履歷次之。所以五葉蕃衍。中此毒者。病痼弗淺也。即遐陬僻壤知有悟門。竈婦餉兒。擅說法要。累所傳之襍糅。務稟授有苗裔。某為師承。某為嫡嗣。何州之子。何世降神。庶法運毋紊乎主張。而流芳亦邁矣。如德山臨濟。大機大用。殺活自由。無俟外學相助。五季以從。辯藻轉深。往往從義學理窟中翻駁而出。是衲子反帶書生氣耳。其真風變渙由茲而始。昨閱少林纘緒。以大慧易虎丘。付帕為嫡嗣。噫醜詞出自偽口。不遜費于筆端。古之法匠。尚有傳記可攷。非直譜牒而已。適以禪燈題其名。高僧神僧附其右者。恐異日雷同纘緒之謬。以備後之修史者。便于採摭焉。且末法奉教。例多俑人。每臨文而歎息。遂興志以殫修。吾祖之道之傳于諸夏。始于梁。盛于唐。而光顯于宋。其間多能文博達之士。迨懷宗先帝晏駕之後。宼烽霧起。玉石俱焚。其殘篇短帙。或以文傳而辭陋事踈。或尚聲名而志乖隱逸。彼得此失。無所攷者。于是取諸方口實。且刪且衍。以為之書。執筆悲懣。不覺涕泗橫流。而人之所知。不如人之所不知。信哉。近有一夥不明大法之人。祇欲攀高自大。曩者阿難調達。均為釋尊之弟。羅睺善星。同是如來之胤。非道有優劣亦邪正。葢自取之耳。今集中。自四祖以下。迨雙桂印止。于中麟膞猩脣不勝枚舉。僅取觚翰雅尚者。摘其黼藻。及馳他國說法者。名實章程。而乘願入峽利生者。總戢帙內。間有一知半解隱逸嵓阿者。列書號名于目次之後。或烽烟兩地難于捃拾。祈鴻魚以示之。俾金雞銜粟蕃衍中華。斷不類婆須密天皇悟之故事。費後昆之筆舌也已。
旹。
