    CONVENTIONS

    1. I have tried to be as lexically precise as possible in translating from the Chi-


    nese, but I have also kept an eye on Chinese and English usage. Chinese words
    are transliterated in the pinyin system. In translating official titles, I gener-
    ally follow Charles Hucker, A Dictionary of Official Titles in Imperial China.
    The titles of primary sources are translated into English at their first appear-
    ance in the main text.

    2. For a monk like Hanshan Deqing, Hanshan is his literary name (hao), while
    Deqing is his Dharma name. As a rule, this book refers to a monk by his
    Dharma name after citing his full name at first appearance and uses his liter-
    ary name only occasionally.
    3. Full citations from the three Buddhist canons cited in this book include title,
    fascicle number, the abbreviation of the canon, volume number, text num-
    ber, page, register (a, b, or c), and line number. For example, Hanshan laoren
    mengyou ji ㅐⰙ侩Ṣ⣊忲普 30, in X, vol. 73, no. 1456, 680a6–8.
    4. For convenience, the lunar calendar is used for the month and day while the
    Western calendar for the year. For rare events considered significant in this
    study, I also give the Western dates in parentheses. The tool used to covert
    the dates is the online one provided by Academia Sinica Computing Center
    (http://sinocal.sinica.edu.tw/).
    5. The degree was a significant indicator of political, social, and cultural status.
    In addition to the years of birth and death, I thus provide, when applicable,
    the highest degree a scholar-official obtained in the civil service examination
    (e.g., jinshi) and when. In Ming and Qing China, the chance for scholar-
    officials who obtained the jinshi degree in the same year to create a close
    network was much higher than for those who did not.
