洛阳市伊滨区李村镇新出“兴国院敕牒”碑考释

Textual Research of the Stele of “ Xingguo Temple Chidie ” Discovered in Licun Township, Yibin District, Luoyang

近年在洛阳市伊滨区新发现金世宗完颜雍大定年间敕牒碑一通,这是金代寺院敕牒公文的石刻本。古代赐额敕牒,对于民间寺庙意义不同寻常,它标志着朝廷的认可和寺院的名正言顺。这种赐额制度,对佛教、道教的发展起了很大作用,从此碑中可以较清楚地了解到金代寺院敕牒公文的一般格式和颁布寺院敕牒的基本程序,是官方强化对寺观的控制与管理的体现,为研究洛阳地区金代佛教的赐额制度提供了不多见的实物资料。

A stele inscribed with ＂chidie＂ of the Jin dynasty has been found in Yibin District, Luoyang in recent years. A Plaque and related documents bestowed by the imperial court were significant to a folk temple for they symbolized the legal status of the temple. And the system of bestowing plaques helped a lot in the development of Buddhism and Taoism. Since the stele shed light on the format of the chidie document and the bestowed procedure, it is of significance for the study of the system of bestowed plaques of the Jin dynasty.
