北宋《開寶藏》與金《趙城藏》、《高麗初雕藏》、《高麗再雕藏》的構成與版本

The Compositional Relationship between the Kaibao Canon 開寶藏, the Zhaocheng Canon 趙城藏, the First Tripiṭaka Koreana 高麗初雕藏, and the Tripiṭaka Koreana 高麗再雕藏

This article mainly examines the compositional relationship between the Kaibao Canon (開寶藏), the Zhaocheng Canon (趙城藏), the First Tripiṭaka Koreana (高麗初雕藏), the (now called) Tripiṭaka Koreana (高麗 再雕藏), and their differences. It also examines the variant parts in the Tripiṭaka Koreana, the original and woodblock versions of the First Tripiṭaka Koreana and the Tripiṭaka Koreana, as well as the total number of scriptures of the Tripiṭaka Koreana.
Generally, the Zhaocheng Canon, the First Tripiṭaka Koreana, and the Tripiṭaka Koreana are referred to as “re-carved” versions of the Northern Song Kaibao Canon. However, thus far, no clear explanation has been offered as to the specific circumstances of these “re-carving” events. Based on a comparative study of the Tripiṭaka scriptures, the author believes that the Kaibao Canon comprises the original version of the Kaibao (Canon), the revised version of the Kaibao, as well as the re-revised version of the Kaibao. The Zhaocheng Canon is a recarving of the Kaibao, and the First Tripiṭaka Koreana and the Tripiṭaka Koreana are based on the revision and recarving of either the original Kaibao or its revised version.
