余杭南山普宁寺兴衰考

The Textual Research of Historical Evolution of Puning Temple of Nanshan Hill in Yu Hang

浙江余杭南山普宁寺是宋元时期流传于江南一带的佛教白云宗的祖庭。通过对包括正史、方志、佛教史籍、文人笔记等在内的各类文献的考察,并结合前人的相关研究,可以大致归纳出普宁寺近千年的历史脉络:其前身为北宋末年孔清觉所建的白云宗小庵(疑为'白云庵'),绍兴年间先后改称'传灯院'、'普安院',淳熙七年改为'普宁寺',进入元代则称'大普宁寺',元末被毁;洪武三年重建为'普宁禅寺',变为丛林,并于明中期合并了慧照塔院、定一院、松隐院等几个寺院;清嘉庆十年,普宁禅寺得到重修,清代后期渐趋没落,约于20世纪前期衰亡。
