Ji nanshan lizan is the compilation of Buddhist rituals for the death anniversary about Master Nanshan-Daoxuan compiled by Master Yuan-Zhao（？-1116）at Northern Sung Dynasty, unfortunately the title never founded in the historical biographies and bibliology. At the era of Yuan-fu（1100）, Master Yuan-zhao has actually already compiled the homonymy articles of “Nanshan zushi lizanwen”which are edited by Zhi-yuan（976-1022）, Ren-yue（？-1077）, and Yun-kan（1005-1061）, and there is the “Ji nanshan lizan xu”in front of Ji nanshan lizan, and there are concise words at the end of ritual script in three writings of “Nanshan zushi lizanwen” for accounting for whole status of amendment or the expurgating of its contents. In accordance with prevalence of Buddhist rituals for the death anniversary, and Buddhist rituals for the death anniversary could be one of the important creatures of the compound culture of Confucianism and Buddhism. Lack of discussion, hereupon depend on approaches of philology, expecting do more advanced awakening of Ji nanshan lizan with its concerned cultural background, wishing for available suggestions.
