The Buddhist Longzang
The Dragon Collection was also known as the Qing Collection, or the Qianlong Version of the Tripitaka. It was first carved in the 13th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1735) and completed in the 3rd year of Qianlong (1738). There were 1670 books and 7240 volumes in the collection, which were carved into 79036 scriptures. Each engraving was roughly 75 centimeters wide, 29 centimeters high, and 4 centimeters thick, engraved on both sides. The high-quality pear wood produced in Zhili (now Hebei) and Shandong was specially selected for the engraving. The scriptures were delicate and elegant, and the carvings were exquisite. The Buddha statue was exquisite, vivid and solemn, weighing about 400 tons. It was the richest collection of the Chinese Tripitaka in our country. Its specifications were the most luxurious among the Chinese Tripitaka of all the dynasties, and it was also the volume with the largest number of volumes among the Chinese Tripitaka of all the dynasties. The wooden sutra board was a complete collection of Indian Buddhist classics, as well as Buddhist theories since ancient times and brief biographies of eminent monks. On the first page of each letter, there was a picture of Sakyamuni's Dharma and a long live plaque. On the last page, there was a picture of Wei Tuo, the guardian of the Buddha. The solemn and vivid picture was carved with the method of white drawing, representing the high attainments of the art of engraving at that time. The "Painting of the Sea" was the "Full Buddha Plate" printed picture in the Wooden Sutra. The overall composition of the characters in the picture was relaxed and free. Auspicious clouds rolled around the gods and Buddhas. The arrangement of the characters was majestic and stretched. The lines of the Buddha painting were as thin as hair. The characters were lifelike and beautifully carved. It was a treasure in the Wooden Sutra of the Hidden Dragon. The Dragon Collection was carved by Emperor Yongzheng's imperial edict, and the front page of each volume had a long live dragon plaque. The compilation was a huge project. It was presided over by Prince Yunlu and Prince Hongzhou of Heshuo Zhuang. Many officials, scholars, and eminent monks participated, and a large number of excellent craftsmen were recruited. After the engraving was completed, it went through many collections. At present, some of them were collected in Yunju Temple. In 2022, 69000 pieces of "Dragon Collection" were collected in the National Version Museum of China, becoming the treasure of the museum. There were only two complete Chinese woodcut Tripitaka in the world. One was the Dragon Sutra of Yunju Temple, and the other was the Koryo Sutra of Haiyin Temple in Gaya Mountain, South Korea. The Dragon Sutra was a precious cultural relic in China and also played an important role in the history of Buddhism in the world. The novel "Hidden Dragon" is equally exciting.

The Legend of Xinfan Longzang Temple

The Evolution of the Script of the Stele of Longzang Temple
Regular script originated from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and had gone through a long period of evolution in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the regular script of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the inscriptions and epitaphs were of great significance in the evolution of the font during the 30-year period from 500 to 530 A.D., with obvious artistic features. The Longzang Temple Stele was published in the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty (586 AD), only 50 years after the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty's heyday. In the stele of Longzang Temple, there were obvious traces of the structure of the Northern Wei steles (including the epitaph) and the use of pen in the front, front, back and sides of the stele. For example, the writing style of the big characters on the stele of Longzang Temple was similar to that of Zhang Menglong Stele, which was engraved in 522 (the third year of Zhengguang of Northern Wei Dynasty). When writing, all the strokes were pressed down. "Longzang Temple Stele" was written very neatly in squares. This kind of neat writing, structure, and style could be found in the vast number of Northern Wei epitaphs. As for the inscriptions on the back and sides of the stele, they were not placed in the grid, so they were written relatively casually. Moreover, the angle of the horizontal drawing to the upper right corner was very obvious. This method of writing was similar to the horizontal drawing in many Northern Wei inscriptions. The Longzang Temple Stele played an important role in the development and evolution of the Wei Stele and the Tang Kai. Together with Ding Daohu's Qifa Temple Stele, they formed the forerunner of the Tang Kai. From the calligraphy style of Longzang Temple Stele, the regular script of Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan in the early Tang Dynasty inherited and used for reference to varying degrees.

For example, the word "Fu" in "Longzang Temple Stele" would be thought to be Chu Suiliang's regular script if the origin was not stated.

It could be seen that people thought that Chu Suiliang's original writing method actually had its origin and inheritance. He copied the regular script writing method of "Longzang Temple Stele" and consolidated it in his own font.
