The existing collected works of Muchen Daomin 木陳道忞 (1596-1674) include Beiyou ji 北遊集 (Journey to the North, six juan), Xiyan yin ji 西巖隱集, Bushuitai ji 布水臺集 (twenty/thirty-two juan), and Baicheng ji 百城集 (thirty juan), which are separately held in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan. In the early Qing dynasty, Bushuitai ji with a preface penned by Qian Qianyi 錢謙益 (1582-1664) was widely circulated, to the extent that both the Shunzhi Emperor and Huang Zongxi 黃宗羲 (1610-1695) had read it. The document value of the different productions of the above collected works is also rather high as each tends to have its own unique contents, some of which are markedly rare. The twenty- and thirty-two-juan editions of Bushuitai ji, for example, have both been included in the “second supplement” 又續 to the Jingshan Canon 徑山藏, and the thirty-two-juan printings held by the University Chinese Academy of Sciences Library (Beijing) and the National Central Library (Taipei) differ, from which we can see the complex circumstances surrounding the printing of the “second supplement.” In addition, the chronicles and locations found within Baicheng ji, which is the only remaining information on the activities of Muchen Daomin from 1668 to 1674, provides a reliable time coordinate for an examination into his historical traces. Specifically, the relationship of Muchen Daomin’s collected works is that in 1667 or slightly thereafter, Chan yu ji 禪餘集, Bushuitai ji, Yunqiao ji 雲僑集, Xiyan yin ji, Beiyou ji, and Tingmei ji 停梅集 were compiled, with additions and deletions, into the thirty-two-juan edition of Bushuitai ji; and following further revisions, Bushuitai ji was then shaped into Baicheng ji in 1674. The emendations had little connection with shifts in the political stance of Muchen Daomin, instead being a result of certain events such as his loss of political asylum from Gose Aisin Gioro 愛新覺羅.高塞 (1637-1670), the political atmosphere surrounding the persecution of Buddhism in the early reign of the Kangxi Emperor (r. 1654-1722), and the “poetic inquisition of Huang Pei” 黃培詩案 in 1666. In a word, the collected works of Muchen Daomin thus have important value for the study of the relationship between Buddhism and politics in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. |
