“福琳”似非王道士本名——方广锠先生《王道士名称考》一文献疑

Taoist Priest Wang is not “Fu Lin”——Doubts on the Article “On the Name and Titles of Taoist Priest Wang” by FANG Guangchang

方广锠先生《王道士名称考》一文披露了一份敦煌遗书的新材料,封面有疑似王道士本人书写墨迹,其中"福琳"方先生认为是王道士的俗名。本文从语言习惯、断句规则等方面进行分析,认为"福琳"并不是王道士俗名,而是另一位佛教人士。

FANG Guangchang＇ s article ＂On the Name and Tides of Taoist Priest Wang＂ marked the pub- hcation of a new set of Dunhuang research material, on the cover of which there is an ink writing thought to have been left by a famous Taoist Priest with the surname of Wang. Mr.Fang considers the name of ＂Fu Lin＂ to be the secular name of this priest, yet by analyzing the codes of language and rules of sentence punctuation, this paper concludes that ＂Fu Lin＂ is not the name of Taoist Priest Wang but rather that of a Buddhist monk.
