泰山碧霞祠明代铜碑碑文校录考诠

The Rectify and Record of The inscription on the bronze stele of the Ming Dynasty in Bixia Temple in Mount Tai

泰山岱顶碧霞祠立有万历年《敕建泰山天仙金阙碑记》及天启年《敕建泰山灵佑宫记》碑,记载了明代碧霞元君信仰列入皇家祭祀,并由皇家主持修缮泰山诸多寺观的史实。通过两碑碑文的解析,对研究泰山碧霞元君信仰的源流、传播、变迁、信众规模等方面都具有重要意义。碑中题名众多,亦可补志书关于人物记载之讹误漏阙。

The Bixia Temple on the Mount Tai is erected with steles of the "Inscription on the Golden Gate of the Tianxian of Mount Tai" in the Wanli Year and the "Inscription of the Emperor’s Construction of the Lingyou Palace in Mount Tai" in the Tianqi Year, which record the historical facts that the adaption of Bixia Yuanjun’s religion into the royal sacrifice in the Ming Dynasty and the renovation of many temples in Mount Tai presided by royal family. Through the analysis of the inscriptions on the two steles, it is of great significance to study the origin, dissemination, changes, and the scale of believers in Bixia Yuanjun’s religion in Mount Tai. There are many inscriptions on the stele, which can also make up for the errors and omissions in the records of the characters in the chronicles.
