從鄭和印造大藏經論明初兩部《南藏》的雕刻時間及相互關系=The Discussion on the Dates of Two Early Ming Southern Dazangjing and Their Relations Basing on Zheng Hes Donation of Dazangjing
The prequel section of the first Southern version of Dazangjing (also known as Hongwu Nanzang) was completed in 1401. The production of the sequel woodblocks began in 1399, the last version was completed in 1402. It was highly possible that this version of Dazangjing was not destroyed in the great fire of the Tianxi Temple in Nanjing in 1408. From 1413 to the eleventh month of 1414, the Chan texts in the sequel section were recompiled and corrected, and the woodblocks were consequently reworked. In 1413, the compilation of a new version of Dazangjing, Yongle Nanzang, began. The carving of woodblocks began between 1416 and the third month of 1417, and was completed before 1420. A considerable part of the woodblocks in Yongle Nanazang might have been recycled from Hongwu Nanzang.
