bio	Nieh, Tao-chen, a Buddhist layman, born during the West Jin dynasty, was one of the important sutra translators in the early time. He worked as a note taker and editor of Zu, Fa-fu for several years. After Zu Fa-fu passed away, Nieh, Tao-chen translated total sixty-four sutras and a Buddhist catalogue by himself. However, there are very few relevant academic papers dealing with Nieh, Tao-chen and his translations nowadays. This paper focuses on Nieh, Tao-chen's six existent translated sutras collected by Taisho to determine the real translator, then to explore the contrast among them, compare the beginning structure of each sutra, and check the transliteration in order to figure out the change of Nieh, Tao-chen's translation style, his contributions to the development of the sutra translation and the influence on the establishment of Buddhist Schools later in Chinese Buddhism.
