A study on the sources of “The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery”
摘要 Abstract
《大慈恩寺三藏法師傳》是記録玄奘生平最全面詳實的傳記，檢討其書與《續高僧傳》、冥祥（詳）《大唐故三藏玄奘法師行狀》關係可知：《續高僧傳》有關玄奘的傳記最早寫成，但對玄奘一生只有大致的概括；慧立、彦惊之《大慈恩寺三藏法師傳》經歷了許多波折方纔寫就，其傳最爲詳實，且應當參考了《續高僧傳》；冥祥（詳）之《大唐故三藏玄奘法師行狀》最晚出，本於《慈恩傳》而參考《續高僧傳》。在此基礎上進一步考察可知，十卷《大慈恩寺三藏法師傳》之前五卷，主要依據《大唐西域記》；後五卷則主要根據玄奘回國後和朝廷往來的公文書撰成。此外，來自玄奘本人的回憶與口述以及當時社會上流行的有關玄奘的傳説故事，也零散貫穿全書。综合把握《大慈恩寺三藏法師傳》的兩類史料來源——書面與口傳，可進一步分疏其間的歷史、宗教與文學元素。
The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery is the most comprehensive and detailed record of Xuanzang’s life. By examining its relationship with The Further Biographies of Eminent Monks and Mingxiang’s The Deeds of the Late Tripitaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang, we can discern the following: The biography of Xuanzang in The Further Biographies of Eminent Monks was the earliest to be written, but it only provides a general outline of his life. The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery by Huili and Yancong underwent many difficulties before its completion; it is the most detailed and likely referenced The Further Biographies of Eminent Monks. Mingxiang’s The Deeds of the Late Tripitaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang was composed last, drawing primarily from The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery while also consulting The Further Biographies of Eminent Monks. Further analysis reveals that the first five volumes of the ten-volume The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery were mainly based on On Yuan Chwang’s travels in India (629—645 A.D.), while the latter five volumes primarily relied on official documents exchanged between Xuanzang and the imperial court after his return to China. Additionally, Xuanzang’s personal recollections and oral accounts, as well as popular legends about him circulating at the time, were sporadically woven throughout the text. By comprehensively analyzing the two main sources of The Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci’en Monastery—written and oral—we can further distinguish the historical, religious, and literary elements within it.
