AbstractThere are seven Chinese translations of the Astasāhasrika Prajñāpāramitā, of which the Daoxing Banre jing 道行般若經, translated in 179 C.E., by Lokaksema is the oldest, followed by the translations by Zhi Qian (fl. ca. 220~257 C.E.), Zhu Fonian (translated in 382 C.E.), Kumārajiva (translated in 408 C.E.) and so on. Being not well-versed in Classical Chinese, Lokaksema used many vernacular words and expressions in his translations of Buddhist scriptures inadvertently. In contrast to him, Zhi Qian, who was born in China and a master of Classical Chinese, seems to have just "sinicised" Lokaksema's translation. Zhu Fonian, however, merely copied Lokaksema's translation and just replaced old-fashioned, vernacular words and expressions in it. Therefore, in this respect, if we focus on how these translators modified Lokaksema's translation, we are able to trace the changes and developments of the Chinese language from the Eastern Han to the Jin Dynasty.
