The contribution of Xuanzang's great tang records on the western regions to academic studies

This paper examines the contents of the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions and relevant studies concerning this travelogue to investigate how Xuanzang's research methods, such as field studies, in-depth interviews, and objective narration, verify the authentic existence of the persons, events, and items of Central Asia and the India countries that are spoken of in Buddhist scriptures. Xuanzang's factual verification of scriptural accounts established the authenticity of Buddhist scriptures for Buddhist scholars, and encouraged scholars to adopt his methods of factual verification to further their research in all academic disciplines.
