About Fei Changfang

Fei Changfang was a Chinese writer.

Fei Changfang (; fl. 562–598) was a Chinese Buddhist monk, biographer, and bibliographer, from Chengdu. He began as a scholar of the Chinese classics of Confucianism and Daoism, but was converted to Buddhism and became involved in translation work with various Indian monks at the Daxingshan Temple.

He is known for his catalogue of Buddhist texts Records of the Three Treasuries Throughout Successive Dynasties (; T2034), compiled 597 CE, which was influential in the development of the Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka, however he has come to be known for controversially attributing texts to translators without foundation.
