The Jīnlíng Scriptural Press (Jīnlíng kèjīngchù 金陵刻經處) is a famous scriptural press 刻經處 founded by Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 in Nánjīng 南京 in the 1870s. After a short hiatus between about 1966 and 1980, it continues to be active today. The press was one of the earliest to spearhead the reprinting of Buddhist texts in China.
