《宣和奉使高丽图经》与宋代妈祖信仰的流传

“AN ATLAS OF KORYO WRITTEN BY DIPLOMATIC CORPS IN XUANHE PERIOD” AND DISSEMINATION OF GODDESS MATSU WORSHIP IN SONG DYNASTY

北宋宣和五年(1123年)之封,是妈祖信仰传播史上具有里程碑意义的一件大事,学界也基本认定妈祖显圣救助赴高丽使团路允迪一行这一事件在其中起到了非常重要的推动作用。我们以徐兢的《宣和奉使高丽图经》为第一手资料,证明《圣墩祖庙重建顺济庙记》所记的妈祖在海上显圣护佑北宋使团这件事是不可信的,这应该是妈祖信仰者的附会。

In the 5th year （ 1123 AD） of the Xuanhe period in the Northern Song dynasty, theEmperor conferred a horizontal inscribed board titled as “ Shunji” （ 顺济） to the Shengdum Temple（ 圣墩庙） to highlight the magical power of Goddess Matsu. In academic field, scholars also identifythe fact that Goddess Matsu saves the diplomatic corps to Koryo, this event greatly advances thedissemination of Goddess Matsu worship. In this study, according to Xu Jing’s “ An Atlas of KoryoWritten by Diplomatic Corps in Xuanhe Period”, the author finds out that the record in“ Recordingof Reconstructing the Shunji Temple by the Shengdun Temple” that Goddess Matsu saves the North-ern Song diplomatic corps is incredible. It should be a wrong conclusion by false analogy drawn byMazu believers.
