Ji Xianlin's Comparison between Datang Buddhism and Western Regions

In order to evaluate this book correctly, I think we should start from the following aspects: first, we should study it in a certain historical background; Second, only by comparison can there be identification, and it should be compared with other similar books; Third, it depends on how many problems it has helped us solve and how many new problems are worth exploring; Fourth, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, depending on how useful it is in practice.

Let's talk about the first point.

The Chinese nation is not only a nation that loves history, but also a nation that loves geography. In history, besides almost every dynasty has its own official history, there are countless kinds of "histories". Although there are inevitably some distorted facts, superstitions or fantasies, on the whole, it is more accurate, reliable and realistic. This fully shows the characteristics of our nation. In geography, there are long-standing geographical works, such as Yu Gong, Shan Hai Jing and Mu Chuan. Although these books are not as old as they claim, they are very old in short. We also have geography books about foreign countries a long time ago, and some of them are accompanied by maps. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties and later, due to the frequent traffic between China and foreign countries, various geography books have proliferated. Lu Cheng of Nanqi once compiled 160 geographical works under Shan Hai Jing into 149 volumes by region, and then added 84 volumes to compile 252 volumes of Geography. The central government has a special agency to learn about foreign countries. There is a staff officer, a doctor, a foreign minister in charge of world maps, including foreign maps, and a cracked Han who specializes in entertaining foreign guests and asking questions about foreign countries by the way. Sometimes after winning the battle, people are sent to foreign countries to inspect customs and products, write books, draw pictures, pay homage to the emperor, and even have terrain models.
