Features: The essence of traditional Chinese learning is practical learning. Up to now, all valuable humanities research, whether in theoretical elaboration or textual analysis, must and inevitably be based on practical and empirical research at all levels. The study of Buddhist scripture phonetics and meanings also requires the foundation of practical and empirical research. Buddhist scripture phonetics and meanings are glossary works that explain the pronunciation and meanings of words and phrases in Buddhist scriptures, and are also treasures in China's traditional classical literature. They encompass a wide range of content, preserving the original form of ancient classics passed down at that time, and involve all aspects of social and cultural life such as religion, philosophy, language, literature, art, and the history of Sino-foreign exchanges. They hold significant academic value in fields such as philology, linguistics, and the study of traditional culture. In recent years, research on Buddhist scriptures in terms of literature and linguistics has achieved considerable results, and the study of Buddhist scripture phonetics and meanings has also gained increasing attention from academia.
