Abstract

The Beijing "red copy" of the Mongolian Kanjur as a classic of Mongolian Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty has a unique authority and representativeness. However, its font style research is still in a relatively weak state at home and abroad. In order to improve the quality of the font of Mongolian ancient books, it is necessary to determine the corresponding standard font. This paper analyzes, compares, summarizes and classifies the styles of ancient books of Kanjur from three aspects: font frequency, catalogue font and font neatness. The study tries to summarize the screening method of Mongolian "Kanjur" standard fonts and provides a reference for the further development of the ancient book font replicating.
