新发现的碧霞元君弘济经碑初探

Primary investigation on the new discovery of stele with Bixiayuanjun Hongji Jing

新近发现的小泰山碧霞宫《修葺娘娘行宫》碑所载经文,为藏外逸经《太上老君说天仙玉女碧霞元君护世弘济妙经》的节略本。这一发现将该经的写作时间提前至嘉靖二十七年(1573)。该发现不但对明代道教、民间宗教及碧霞元君信仰的研究有重要意义,而且可以为明代不同文化形态之间的互动提供一桩个案。

The scripture on the stele of Repairing Niangniang Xinggong,which is newly discovered in Biaxiagong on Small Mount Tai,is considered to be the abridged edition of Taishanglaojun Shuo Bixiayuanjun Hushi Hongji Miaojing,which is one lost lection from Taoist Sutra.This discovery advances the writing time of the Scripture to Jiajing 27th year（1573 AD） of Ming Dynasty.It does not only have significance to the research on Taoism,Folk religion in Ming Dynasty and Belief on Bixiayuanjun,but also provide a specific case on interaction among the different culture types in Ming Dynasty.
