元代六胜塔重建小考

Research on the Reconstruction of Liusheng Pagoda in Yuan Dynasty

泉州六胜塔始建于北宋政和初,元惠宗至元年间重建。因塔上有5处题刻“凌恢甫”大名,今人多以为乃其独资建造。释读元名僧释大圭《石湖六胜塔缘》全文,说明建造六胜塔所需资金巨大,这座堪与泉州东西塔相比拟的佛塔,是在僧徒、十方檀信、各阶层民众以及从事泉州—扬州两地贸易商人的共同支持下,才得以在短短两年四个月内建成的。而“凌恢甫”之所以出现于题刻,在于他是当地富豪,施助最多,出力最多之缘故,以让后人铭记其功德。

The Liusheng Pagoda was built in the early Zhenghe period in Northern Song Dynasty,and rebuilt from the Zhiyuan 2^(nd) to 5^(th) years in Yuan Dynasty.Because there are five inscriptions on the pagoda with the name"Ling Huifu",most people now think that he was the only sponsor.The reading of The Shihu Liusheng Pagoda by Da Gui comes to the finding that the construction of the Liusheng Pagoda requires huge funds.This pagoda,which can be compared with Quanzhou East and West Towers,was built in just two years and four months with the joint support of monks and disciples,believers,people of different social classes,and traders engaged in Quanzhou-Yangzhou business.The mention of Ling Huifu in the inscriptions contributes to the memory of his merits by the future generation his greatest efforts and financial support for the construction.
