Field notes
The project uses a map-and-timeline format to connect the 845 Huichang persecution with Wuyue’s later recovery and export of Buddhist texts. Its account includes concrete transmission details: 84,000 small metal stupas containing printed dharani sutras, a 961 arrival by the Goryeo monk Chegwan, and an estimated 36 monks studying in Hangzhou during the 960s. Geographic borders and routes are deliberately presented as approximate rather than surveyed.
