The *Fanfanyu* is a Buddhist transliteration glossary compiled during the Liang dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties period by Master Baochang. This work primarily collects and explains Sanskrit transliterated terms found in Chinese Buddhist scriptures translated from the Eastern Han through the Southern and Northern Dynasties, restoring each to its original Sanskrit form and providing definitions. Its contents cover various categories of proper nouns and terminology, such as numerical terms, geographical names, and clan names. As one of the earliest extant Chinese works on Buddhist transliteration and meaning, it serves as a crucial resource for understanding the original intent of the scriptures and tracing the origins of translations. The *Fanfanyu* holds irreplaceable academic value in the study of Buddhist literature and the history of the Chinese language.
