论敦煌本《涉道诗》的作者问题

On the authenticity of the Author of “Shedaoshi” in Dunhuang Manuscript

敦煌写本p386 6所记李翔《涉道诗》二十八首 ,曾引起不少中外学者的热情注意 ,但对其作者之推论迄今未有明确说法。本文在弄清唐代佛道思想传播趣向的基础上 ,依据作品描述的具体地理环境 ,考以《宋高僧传》、《景德传灯录》及《佛祖统记》等史料 ,认为所谓“李翔”者当属“李翱”之讹写 ,这些诗歌的作者最有可能即是韩愈的门人李翱。

Dunhuang Manuscript p.3866(Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris)has recorded the poetry anthology Shedaoshi,a collection of twenty eight poems by Li Xiang. It has drawn the adequate attention of many scholars in China and abroad, but it fails to be definite about the authenticity of the author. In this paper, according to geographical position and environment described in the poems, the writer investigates large numbers of records such as Song gaosengzhuan, Jingdechuandenglu, Fozutongji, etc.. and draws the conclusion that the author's name should be Li Ao, who was a student of the famous scholar HanYu in the Tang Dynasty, and that the name Li Xiang on the manuscript is most likely to be Li Ao.
