甘肃合水金代清凉禅院敕牒碑考释

Interpretation of the Jin-Dynasty Chidie Edict Stele of the Qingliang Monastery in Heshui County,Gansu Province

甘肃合水金代清凉禅院敕牒碑是甘肃庆阳地区目前发现的唯一一通载有金代寺额敕牒的碑刻,其所载的清凉禅院牒在历代金石著作中均未收录。该敕牒的发现,为了解金代佛教寺院管理制度提供了新资料,对研究庆阳地区政治史、佛教史等具有重要意义。本文利用原碑拓片对敕牒的内容进行了补释,对金代敕牒的格式、获取寺额的程序、缴纳钱数以及敕牒产生的原因和时代背景等进行了探讨。

The Jin-Dynasty chidie edict stele of the Qingliang monastery found in Heshui County is the only stele that records Jin-Dynasty monastery title board and chidie edict in the Qingyang region of Gansu Province.Similar documentation has not been seen in published epigraphic records from different dynasties.The discovery of this chidie edict provides new evidence to understand managerial system in Jin-Dynasty Buddhist monasteries and therefore holds great academic significance to the study of political and Buddhist history of the Qingyang region.This article carried out a supplementary interpretation of the contents of the chidie edict documented in the stele and discussed format of the Jin-Dynasty chidie edict,procedures of obtaining a monastery title board,payment,and reasons and historic backgrounds for the origins of chidie edicts.
