Abstract

In 1978, there was an investigation before the repair of the pagoda in Suzhou Ruiguangsi (蘇州 瑞光寺) and many Buddhist literatures were found in the center of pagoda's 3rd floor. This study is the analysis of the forms and values of the literatures. Since there were 123 ea of precious literatures made from Tang (唐) period to early North Sung (北宋) period among the found Buddhist literatures, they have very important meaning in the bibliography for the time. Suzhou Reiguangsi (蘇州 瑞光寺) was built by the first king of Wu (吳), Sun Quan (孫權). He built this Buddhist temple to meet Monk Xingkang (性康) from Kangjuguo (康居國). When it had been first built, it had been called Puji Chanyuan (普濟禪院) and it was renamed as current Ruiguangsi (瑞光寺) after the major expansion in the early period of North Sung (北宋). The Ruiguangta (瑞光塔) was built by Sun Quan (孫權) in A.D. 247 immediately after the temple had been built. Sun Quan built this pagoda as a 13-floor pagoda to pray for the easy passage into eternity of his mother, national prosperity and welfare of the people. As time passed by, the pagoda was largely damaged and it was newly built in A.D. 1017 (天禧 1) of early North Sung (北宋) period; while it was named as Duobaota (多寶塔). The literatures found in Ruiguangta consist of 107 ea of 3 sets dharani (陀羅尼) scripture and 16 volumes of 5 books, total 123 ea. Especially, there were 7 books of full set transcript of Lotus Sutra (法華經) in relatively complete form. This sutra written in gilt lettering on dark blue paper was made in Middle Tang (中唐) period and it is believed to be the only one existing in East Asia as a scripture written in gilt lettering on dark blue paper (紺紙金字寫經). There were also 6 books of small letter edition of Lotus Sutra (法華經) in complete form, which was published during the early North Sung (北宋) period. This specific edition is incorrectly stated in most general reference books published in China as having been engraved in early Tang period (初唐) since a Japanese scholar wrongly introduced it as having been engraved together with Nakamura edition (中村本). It is meaningful that this error can be corrected by the finding of this study.

이 논문은 지난 1978년 서광탑의 수리를 위한 조사과정에서 3층 탑심부의 천궁에서 다량의 불교문화재를 수습하였다. 당시 수습한 문화재에는 당대에서 북송초기에 조성된 귀중한 불교문헌 123점이 포함되어 있다. 소주 서광사는 적조(赤鳥) 4(241)년에 오나라 첫 번째 왕이었던 손권(孫權)이 강거국에서 온 승려 성강(性康)을 맞이하기 위해서 세워진 사찰이며, 창건 당시에는 보제선원(普濟禪院)으로 부르다가 북송 초기 원희 연간에 와서 대대적으로 중창하고 지금의 서광사(瑞光寺)로 개명하였다. 서광탑은 서광사가 완공된 직후인 적조(赤鳥) 10(247)년에 손권이 모친의 극락왕생과 국태민안을 기원하기 위해 사찰 내에 13층탑을 세웠으며, 이후 오랜 세월이 지나 이 탑이 크게 파손되어 천희(天禧) 1 (1017)년에 새로 중건하고 이름을 다보탑(多寶塔)이라 하였다. 서광탑에서 출토된 불교문헌은 크게 다라니류 3건 107점과 전적류 5종 16권 등 모두 123점으로 파악되었다. 특히 전적류 가운데 법화경사경은 당대에 감지에 금자로 조성된 것으로 전 7권이 비교적 완전한 상태이며, 동아시아 국가에 현존하는 감지금자사경 가운데 최선본으로 평가할 만하다. 또한 북송초기에 간행된 목판본이 6권이나 완전한 상태로 발견되었다. 그동안 일본학자 나가자와(長澤)가 이와 동일본인 중촌본(中村本)을 초당본(初唐本)으로 잘 못 소개한 이후 모든 개설서에 그대로 반영하고 있는데, 이 연구를 통해 오류를 수정할 계기가 되었다는 점이 의미가 있다.
