普陀山高丽道头遗址重现

The Reappearance of the Korean Wharf Site in Mount Putuo

唐宋以来大批高丽使者、商贾、佛教信徙来访中国途中,在普陀山高丽道头一带候风,并登岸前往宝陀寺祈祷航海平安。为寻找高丽道头遗址,普陀山佛教文化研究所进行4个多月调查,认定遗址在普陀山西南司基湾。这里明代以前是一大海湾,历代相继修筑了5条海塘,遂成陆地。古高丽道头位于“司基湾”北端观音洞下,后来筑塘时被覆盖。

On their way to China,a large number o f Korean envoys,businessmen and Bud dhists had waited for the wind to die a way and gone ashore there to head for Baotuo Temple to pra y for the sailing safety around the Ko rean Wharf in Mount Putuo since the Tang and Song dynasties.In order to search for the site of the Korean Wh arf,Putuoshan Buddhist Culture Reseach had made an investigation for mo re than four months and located the site in Sijiwan in the southweat of Mo unt Putuo.Here it used to be a big sea g ulf before the Ming Dynasty.Five sea walls had been successively built through the dynasties to turn the gul f into the land.The ancient Korean Wh arf was located below the Guanyin Cav e in the northern part of Sijiwan,and later it was covered with a seawall.
