《祖庭事苑》讹误举隅

Identifying the Mistakes in Zutingshiyuan with Examples

《祖庭事苑》有多处纰漏,从中列举12则词条,既有善卿言语之误、语源之误,又有"它经无所出"的疏漏,在引用《祖庭事苑》时若不加考辨,则时有谬误产生。

Zutingshiyuan is the earliest dictionary in the history of Zen in China to explain the words of Zen. However,there are many mistakes in this book, and if the scholars of later generations do not make a thorough investigation when quoting Zutingshiyuan, there will be some errors. Enumerating 12 entries, pointing out the errors in Shan Qing’s speech, studying the actual source of "It has nothing to say", or correcting the errors in etymology, will be beneficial to relevant research.
