Temple Painting and Vernacular Narratives
This paper examines the complex connections between religious painting and vernacular narratives during the Ming dynasty through a case study of the Miaoshan story mural in the Vairochana Hall (Piludian 毗盧殿) of Guanyin Monastery (Guanyinsi 觀音寺) in Xinjin 新津, Sichuan (near Chengdu). This mural constitutes the earliest precisely dated surviving example (completed in 1468 and renovated in 1756) of pictorial representations of the Miaoshan story in C…
Guidance through seduction
The story of Bodhisattva Guanyin with a Fish Basket (or Fish-monger Guanyin) has already attracted attention of scholars of Chinese literature and religion, as it represents an indigenous modification of the Indian Buddhist deity; but until now scholars mainly have studied textual variants of this story in the late imperial period. At the same time, the precious scroll (baojuan) devoted to the story of Fish-Basket Guanyin is still recited by loca…

New Religious Teachings and Narrative Baojuan in the Late 19th Century
Most baojuan (precious scrolls), predominantly religious-oriented prosimetric texts in the vernacular language, in the late period of their development (late 19th–early 20th centuries) lost connection with heterodox religious teachings. Notwithstanding this several newly emerged religious traditions in the 19th century continued to use the baojuan form to propagate their teachings. This paper analyses specific religious ideas in the Complete Rece…
A Tale of Wonders in Performance
Baojuan (precious scrolls) are a type of prosimetric literature in the vernacular language that flourished in the lower Yangzi valley between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most baojuan texts are devoted to religious themes, often involving wondrous figures and events which can be characterized as "supernatural". The Precious Scroll of Wang Hua (Wang Hua baojuan 王花寶卷) is a comparatively late text centered on the marvelous appa…
The Hanoi Reprint of the Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain (1772) and the Printing of Buddhist Works in Northern Vietnam at the End of the Eighteenth Century

The historical background of the Hanoi reprint demonstrates that this text had much higher status in Vietnam than in China. In Vietnam it was regarded as an authoritative Buddhist scripture. The case of the reprint of the Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain re…

The local tradition of "telling scriptures" can be traced back to the 19th century, though it may have even earlier origins. While it has been generally accepted that precious scrolls ha…

Many Faces of Mulian
The story of Mulian rescuing his mother’s soul from hell has evolved as a narrative over several centuries in China, especially in the baojuan (precious scrolls) genre. This genre, a prosimetric narrative in vernacular language, first appeared around the fourteenth century and endures as a living tradition. In exploring the evolution of the Mulian story, Rostislav Berezkin illuminates changes in the literary and religious characteristics of the g…
A Popular Buddhist Story at the Ming Court of the Early Sixteenth Century
This paper analyzes early illustrations of the Miaoshan story, which served a popular hagiography of Bodhisattva Guanyin — the murals of the Hall of the Great Mercy of the Monastery of Great Wisdom in Beijing (ca. 1513) — in relation to the vernacular narrative of performative nature, the Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain. These murals, though they have not received much attention from scholars so far, are noteworthy as the whole ensemble of th…
Precious Scroll of the Ten Kings in the Suzhou Area of China
This paper examines the connections to be found between the cult of the Ten Kings of the underworld and the practice of baojuan storytelling (“telling scriptures,” or scroll recitation) in the Suzhou area of Jiangsu province. In some places, notably the city of Changshu, the stories devoted to the Ten Kings are recited during funerary services for the dead and are combined with the ritual actions aimed at salvation of the dead soul (i.e., with th…
Illustrations of the Mulian Story and the Tradition of Narrative Painting in China (Tenth–Fifteenth Centuries)
The story of Mulian rescuing his mother’s soul from hell was featured in numerous pictorial versions of different formats in China. They could take the form of multi-scene handscrolls, illustrations in manuscripts and editions, and separate scenes in devotional religious art objects such as murals and reliefs. The Mulian subject was of primary importance in the popularization of Buddhist ideas among different layers of society. The earliest extan…
The Precious Scroll on Bodhisattva Guanshiyin from Jingjiang, and Confucian Morality
This article deals with the special features of the contents of the Precious Scroll on Bodhisattva Guanshiyin from Xiangshan (Xiangshan Guanshiyin baojuan 香山觀世音寳卷), a prosimetric text performed in Jingjiang 靖江, and its role in the local culture. Though based on written narratives, this text exists primarily as an oral version in the tradition of religious storytelling called “scripture telling” (jiangjing 講經). We trace the origin of this text and…

The Earliest Known Edition of The Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain and the Connections Between Precious Scrolls and Buddhist Preaching
This article introduces a reprint made in Hanoi in 1772 of an undated Chinese edition, originally published in Nanjing, of The Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain ( Xiangshan baojuan ). This edition, called the “Nanjing redaction” in the article, was preserved only partially as a ritual manual in China. Yet it provides important evidence for determining the early date of production of the text. By comparing certain features in the Nanjing redacti…
The Transformation of Historical Material in Religious Storytelling

This study considers the Baojuanof Mulian Rescuing His Mother in Three Rebirths (ca. nineteenth century)as a representative example of the practice of embedding historical events and figures in popular literature of the late imperial period. The study also takes into account other related…
Personal Salvation and Filial Piety
During the past several decades, scholars of Chinese religion have increasingly turned their attention to the texts called precious scrolls (baojuan). In the sixteenth–eighteenth centuries, precious scrolls were usually used as the scriptures of sects (or specific folk religions). However, they co-existed with texts based on popular Buddhist tales. The second kind of text developed rapidly in the late period (nineteenth–twentieth centuries). Duri…
