Based on internal evidence, Wang judges the traditional dating of the Fenbie gongde lun 分別功德論 T1507 to the Later Han to be incorrect, and proposes instead a dating of Jin, possibly Eastern Jin rather than Western Jin. He bases his argument on internal evidence of the following types: translations/transcriptions of Indic words, regular Chinese words, and frequently used words. |
