Abstract
This article explores the textual history and genealogical claims in the Quanzhou Qianfo xinzhu zhuzushi song 泉千佛著諸祖師頌 (Or.821o/S.1635), a collection of encomia composed by Wendeng 僜 (d. 972) that documents the formation of the so-called southern Chan lineage and provides a crucial link between the Baolin zhuan 寶傳 and the Zutangji 祖堂. The focus of this paper is on reexamining the potentially layered nature of Wendeng's work based on the preface by Huiguan 慧觀 (d.u.), internal evidence from the Dunhuang manuscript, and related accounts in Chan records and local gazetteers. In addition, this study investigates the genealogical glosses in S.1635 and suggests that these were probably not authored by Wendeng and therefore cannot be taken as evidence of his understanding of the pedigree of the presumed successors to Huineng 慧 (638-713).
