Abstract
‘Kaiwei shiwen sishierzhang’ _??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??_ in the Siming zunzhe jiao xing lu (_??__??__??__??__??_??__??_ Record of the Venerable Siming's Teachings and Practices) is composed of 42 questions on Tiantai Doctrine, and is a test which Siming Zhili _??__??__??__??_ (960-1028) assigned to his disciples.
In this paper I tried to analyze the contents of this text in compassion with ‘Kaii shimon shijunisyoto’ _??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??_ written by Koken _??__??_ (1652-1739). I will examine this text to understand the fundamental thought of Tiantai Buddhism in the Early Song. Thus the mutual relations of this text and ‘Jiangwei wenda sanshizhang’ _??__??__??__??__??__??__??_, ‘Jiaomen zawenda qizhang’ _??__??__??__??__??__??__??_, ‘Sizhong sidi wenda’ _??__??__??__??__??__??_ are confirmed too.
