《唐鏡》考──法琳的著作之影響

A study of 'Karakagami' Acceptance of Falin's Writings in 'Karakagami'

藤原茂範所著《唐鏡》是在日本首度以日文寫成的中國通史。其內容雖多擷取自中國正史，然仍有諸多記載因出處不詳而有待商榷。本篇論文將由此點出發，針對其中佛典的相關記載做進一步探討。《唐鏡》中佛教史的記載，大多源自於唐僧法琳所著的《辯正論》一書。《辯正論》乃是唐初，佛道二教激辯之時，法琳為了維護佛學所寫成的一本著作。本篇論文將著眼於藤原茂範如何看待《辯正論》，以及如何將其中論述運用於《唐鏡》的佛典記述中，進而探討《唐鏡》中所陳述的佛教史。

“Karakagami” by Fujiwara Shigenori is the first Chinese general history written in Japanese. The content of ”Karakagami” is mostly originated from Chinese authorized history. Yet, since some of the sources of “Karakagami” were left unspecified, there are still some vague points need to be discussed. In view of this point, I would go a step further to discuss the record of Buddhism mentioned in the book. The content about Buddhism is mostly derived from “Karakagami” by Falin, the Sangha in Tang Dynasty, which is the statement to protest against Taoist when the two religions were opposing each other at the beginning of Tang Dynasty. This research aims at the viewpoint of Fujiwara Shigenori toward “Pienchenglun” and how he inspired by it. Thereupon, I shall discuss about Buddhism history in “Karakagami”.
