Abstract
中國社會的安龍謝土儀式中，不少有普庵信仰的內容。我們收集的數十冊安龍謝土儀式科儀文本中，有多處包括了誦《釋談章》、貼「普庵符」、念《普庵經》等普庵信仰的內容，如此可以退煞降福。尤其是科儀本中提及了普庵進入安龍謝土儀式的原因「化九良」，這一內容與《普庵祖師靈驗記》「降九良星異」記載相符，說明普庵「降九良」是「化九良」的原型，此點少為學者注意。發掘這一內容不僅可以明確普庵信仰的內容，同時也使我們更嚴肅地思考《普庵祖師靈驗記》與普庵信仰內容的關係。
Many anlong xietu (retaining the dragons and thanking earth) rituals in Chinese society contain elements of Pu’an beliefs. In the dozens of anlong xietu ritual scriptures that we have collected, there are many references to Pu’an beliefs, such as chanting the Shitan zhang (Pu’an Mantra), posting the “Pu’an talisman,” and chanting the Pu’an Scripture, which can be used to subdue evil spirits and acquire blessings. In particular, these ritual texts mention that the reason for Pu’an beliefs’ inclusion in anlong xietu rituals is to “convert Jiuliang”, which is consistent with the record of “Subduing Jiuliang Star Deities” in the Legend of Ancestral Master Pu’an. The story of subduing Jiuliang is the prototype of “converting Jiuliang,” a fact that scholars have largely overlooked. This discovery not only clarifies Pu’an beliefs but can also prompt us to think about the relationship between the Legend of Ancestral Master Pu’an and the content of Pu’an beliefs.
