Anthology of the Propagation of Light, The ［弘明集］ (Chin Hung-ming-chi;  Gumyō-shū): A collection of essays on Buddhism compiled by Seng-yu (445–518) of China. It records the conflicts that arose between Buddhism and the indigenous Chinese philosophies of Confucianism and Taoism during the first five hundred years following the introduction of Buddhism to China during the reign of Emperor Ming (r. 57–75). Along with Seng-yu’s Collection of Records concerning the Tripitaka, it is considered a valuable reference work for the study of the history of Chinese Buddhism.
