Chinese Canon
中文佛经
The Chinese Buddhist Canon - Ta-t’sang-ching (“Great Scripture Store”) in Mandarin - is the collection of scriptures accepted as canonical throughout most of Mahayana Buddhism and specifically in China, Korea, and Japan. The first version of the Canon to be fully recorded in writing was made in Sichuan, China in 983 CE, and numerous other versions with slight variations have been produced since. The standard variation used today, the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, was completed in Tokyo in 1934. The Chinese Canon contains some early texts from pre-sectarian Buddhism similar to those found in the Pali Canon, but most of its contents are devotedly Mahayana, such as the Mahayana sutras. The Canon includes scriptures from diverse schools of thought and is significantly larger than the Pali Canon.
汉文《大藏经》（“经文典藏”）汇集了被大部分大乘佛教、特别是中国、朝鲜和日本等地区的佛教视为真经的经书。佛教真经首次被记录下来，是公元983年在中国的四川，自那以后产生了许多内容稍有不同的藏经版本。当前应用的标准版本——大正藏，在1934年完成于东京。中文经藏中包括了某些早期文本，源于上座教派之前的佛教，与巴利文佛教中发现的经文类似，但其内容的大多数都是大乘佛教的，比如大乘的经书。经藏包括来自不同思想派别的文本，卷册显著多于巴利文经。
