Brief introduction (简介):
Chinese Buddhist literature began with the translation of Buddhist scriptures. It
covers three categories: Buddhist scripture literature, Monastic literature and Literati
Buddhist literature. It runs through more than two thousand years since the Eastern
Han Dynasty, the initiation of the Buddhist scripture translation. In addition to the
literature of translated Buddhist scriptures itself, many other literary styles have
been introduced by propagating the translated Buddhist scriptures, such as
narrative literature, parable literature, Bianwen (illustration of the Buddhist
scriptures), novels, operas, etc. In respects of the length of history, the breadth of
literature and the depth of cultural impact, a book specific to the history of Chinese
Buddhist literature is indeed needed for an overall vision and perspective. The
History of Chinese Buddhist Literature containing two volumes edited by Professor
L. H. HSIAO and co-authored by more than 20 experts and scholars in the field of
Buddhist literature elaborates on the evolution of Buddhist literature from Han and
Wei through Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the occasion of the publication of the
first volume of The History of Chinese Buddhist Literature, the workshop will present
a series of related papers on the history of Buddhist literature, which aims to intrigue
much more academic attention to this issue. (中国佛教文学始于佛经翻译，涵盖了佛
经文学、僧人文学和文人佛教文学三大范畴，从东汉以降，贯穿二千馀年，除了佛经
本身的翻译文学外，更注入了许多新文体，诸如叙事文学、譬喻文学、变文、小说、
戏曲等，无论从历史的长度、文学的广度或对文化影响的深度，都需要一部专门的史
书来提供完整的视野。《中国佛教文学史》由萧丽华教授主编，汇集了二十多位佛教
文学领域的专家学者共同撰写，全套分上下两册，系统性地论述了从汉魏以至明清佛
教文学的流变。值《中国佛教文学史》上册出版之际，本次活动之工作坊将发表一系
列佛教文学史的相关论文，抛砖引玉，广邀学界共同关注。)
