关于《二郎宝卷》造经时间的辨正及相关问题

The Correction of the Time of the Creation of Er Lang Baojuan and the Solution to Related Problems

西大乘教所创之《清源妙道显圣真君一了道人护国佑民忠孝二郎开山宝卷》(简称《二郎宝卷》),旧题嘉靖三十四年(1555年)造,不确。据本文考证,应是崇祯元年(1628年)由甫广、甫环的两个信徒应二郎召唤而创作的,同时也考证出《护国佑民伏魔宝卷》当造作于万历四十五年(1617年)。最后,本文对于西大乘教著名的归圆法师12岁吐经之说表示谨慎怀疑,认为是民间教派自神其说的话头,不应作为推断年龄身份的实际指标。

It was wrongly alleged that Qing Yuan Miao Dao Xian Sheng Zhen Jun Yi Liao Dao Ren Hu Guo You Min Zhong Xiao Er Lang Kai Shan Baojuan （referred to as Er Lang Baojuan） was created by Western Mahayana and published in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing （1555）. However, on the basis of the textual research, the au-thor of this paper finds out that the book was really created by the two believers of Yu Guang and Yu Huan, who were summoned by Er Lang, in the first year of Chongzhen （1628） and that Hu Guo You Min Fu Mo Baojuan was actually created in the forty-fifth year of Wanli （1617）. Besides, the paper is cautiously skeptical of the fact that the famous Buddhist monk of Western Mahayana, Guan Yuan, could preach at the age of 12, thinking that it was just the folk sect’s self-proclamation and should not be used as an actual indicator of age identity.
