摘要

This paper examines the role that the writing and rewriting of the past played in the creation of Mount Wutai (Wutai shan 五臺山) as a sacred Buddhist place. During the seventh century, Mount Wutai emerged as the center of devotion to the Bodhisattva Mañjusri (Wenshu pusa 文殊菩薩) and, as this study shows, the telling and retelling of stories about the site's early history facilitated this process. Using accounts of one Mount Wutai temple's founding as a case study-the Prince Who Torched His Body Temple (Wangzi shaoshen si 王子燒身寺)-the article draws attention both to the suppleness of the past and the connection between the miraculous and the material in places assigned religious significance.

本文檢視書寫與改寫在五臺山形成為佛教聖地中所扮演的角色。在七世紀之時，五臺山開始成為文殊菩薩信仰的中心，且如本文所指出，有關該地早期歷史故事的述說與重述促進了這個過程。以五臺山王子燒身寺的創建為例。本文著重在其對傳言的接納性以及靈異事迹與宗教性地方志的關係。
