镇江“古润礼拜寺记”碑考

A Research on the Tablet Inscription of Gurun Mosque at Zhenjiang

镇江古润礼拜寺始建于唐朝,几经毁建、迁建,而具今日之规模。因相关史料缺失,学界对此寺尚少研究,尤其对该寺现存的明万历"古润礼拜寺记"碑的研究更是鲜有涉足。该碑刻内容丰富详实,借用儒家纲常伦理和理学概念阐述伊斯兰教义教规,对于研究运河伊斯兰文化及伊斯兰教中国化等问题都是十分珍贵的碑刻资料。

Gurun Mosque at Zhenjiang was established during the Tang Dynasty. After its establishment, it wit- nessed several times of destruction and reestablishment until it developed to its present conditions. However, relevant researches on the mosque are rare due to the lack of literary sources, and few researches on the tablet inscription have been done so far. The inscription is rich and accurate in content,written in a way that interprets Islam with Confucian ideology. Therefore it is valuable for studies on the canal Islamic culture and sinicization of Islam in China.
