The "Record of Sacred Sites on Mount Tiantai," compiled by Pan Jue in the Ming Dynasty, is an important text documenting the sacred places and historical sites of the Tiantai school of Chinese Buddhism. Completed during the Ming period, it reflects the flourishing state and social influence of the Tiantai school in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions at that time. The work systematically catalogues the temples, pagodas, relics of eminent monks, landscapes, and related legends and stories from Mount Tiantai and its surrounding areas, serving as both a geographical record and a source of Buddhist historical materials. As a key document for studying the history of the Tiantai school, Buddhist geography, and Ming Dynasty Buddhist culture, it preserves a precious religious and cultural heritage for later generations, holding significant importance for understanding the transmission and development of Chinese Buddhism.
