悟真于大中五年的奉使入奏及其对长安佛寺的巡礼

Wu Zhen＇ s tribute on behalf of Zhang Yi - chao and his visits to Buddhist temples in Chang- an in 851 A. D

本文着重探讨了悟真大中五年奉使入奏及巡礼长安佛寺、与京城高僧唱和交往的大致情形。认为悟真所率使团是张议潮夺得政权后第二个到达长安的沙州使团，其出发时间应比当年二月到朝的高进达使团晚得多，规格也要高得多。曾亲身参与起义、精通佛门教义、儒学功底亦深的悟真积极与长安学问僧交友往来，向长安佛教界文化界展示了敦煌风采，其人其行堪称文化使者宗教外交，为后续最为正式的张议潭使团最终争取到归义军的建立和节度使的旌节在人际关系等方面做了良好铺垫。

This paper is focused on Wu Zhen＇ s tribute on behalf of Zhang Yi - chao and his visits to Buddhist temples in Chang- an in 851 A.D. The authors point out that the envoy group led by Wu Zhen was in fact the second one arriving at Chang - an that year, and it left Dunhuang much later than the first one which reached Chang - an in February 851. As a participant in the revolt in 848 and a Buddhist monk good at Confucianism, Wu Zhen was enthusiastic about visiting the scholar monks in Chang - an, to whom he showed the Buddhism achievements in Dunhuang Area. Wu Zhen should be regarded as a cultural spokesman as well as a religious diplomat for the great contribution he had made to the later envoy group led by Zhang Yi -tan, who finally gained recognition from the central authority.
