“道教的經典與儀式”雲端系列學術講座開幕式暨第一講”《太上靈寶五符序》所見黃初平傳考釋 Date/Time: March 1, 2024, 19:40-22:00 (HK time)Language: Putonghua Venue: via Zoom (Registration is required.)

Campany）首次注意到黃初平傳也見於早期道經《太上靈寶五符序》。本次講座擬在康儒博研究的基礎上，進一步考證現存最早收錄黃初平傳的文獻是《太上靈寶五符序》。又以《太上靈寶五符序》為中心，考釋黃初平成仙的關鍵在於服食松脂、茯苓。首先論證松脂、茯苓方是《太上靈寶五符序》記載的一系列服御方之一，源出靈寶五符天文，又將此經所載松脂、茯苓方與其他道書、本草文獻的相關記載進行比較，最後考述黃初平“叱石成羊”與服食松脂、茯苓的關係及其背後的信仰。期望通過這些論述，深入挖掘黃大仙信仰的道教文化內涵。 ABOUT THE SPEAKER楊金麗，西南交通大學人文學院博士研究生。 ORGANIZERSASIAR Research Cluster, HKIHSS, HKU; Centre on Chinese Religions, Southwest Jiaotong University
