古代僧尼遗产处理的文献分析——以敦煌愿文为例

A Documentay Analysis on the Disposal of the Heritage of Monks and Nuns in the Ancient Times:With Special Reference to Dunhuang Devotions

敦煌文献中有一定数量关于处理亡故僧尼财产的文书,学者已充分利用这类文书来研究晚唐五代宋初敦煌地区如何处置亡故僧尼财产。敦煌愿文中有一类《亡僧尼舍施文》,其与一般愿文有很大的不同,即施主所布施之物乃亡故僧尼之衣物等日常用品。这类《亡僧尼舍施文》亦真实地反映了晚唐五代宋初敦煌地区如何处置亡故僧尼的财物。

There are some documents on Dunhuang manuscripts that handle the property of dead monks and nuns. Scholars have taken full advantage of these documents to study the ways of handling the property of dead monks and nuns in the late period of Tang and Wudai dynasties and the early period of Song Dynasty. In Dunhuang Devotions, there is a kind of the almsgiving documents of dead monks and nuns, which is very different from general devotions. The latter is about daily supplies of dead monks and nuns by donors. This kind of the almsgiving documents about dead monks and nuns is a true reflection of the disposal of the property of dead monks and nuns in the late period of Tang and Wudai dynasties and the early period of Song Dynasty.
