Qin Lu is an administrative archives compiled from the imperial edicts of Ming Taizu to manage Buddhist affairs. It is collected in major imperial monasteries in Nanjing and other cities. During the Wanli period, Ge Yinliang compiled the Qin Lu of various monasteries in Nanjing into ''Qin Lu corpus'' in the Records of Buddhist Temple in Jinling, so that it can be preserved. The compilation of the Qin Lu can be traced back to the Qin Lu Bu System in the sixth year of Hongwu, and was directly influenced by the principles of "record decree" and "classify into books". In the early Hongwu, the Buddhist Administration had not yet been established, so the recorders of Qin Lu were the major monasteries rather than the government. This leads to differences in the versions of Buddhism, preaching and teaching in different types of monasteries. It is these differences and its rich content that can make up for the lack of records in Ming Hui Dian. The Qin Lu not only reflects the characteristics of the institutionalization of Buddhist management in the early Ming Dynasty, but also shows great value for the study of Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty.
