《道貫嶺南─廣州三元宮志》

《道貫嶺南——廣州三元宮志》是廣州三元宮、香港蓬瀛仙館與香港中文大學道教文化研究中心合作的項目，由香港中文大學道教文化研究中心主任黎志添教授任編著，並得到廣州三元宮住持潘志賢道長與香港蓬瀛仙館理事長梁德華道長參與策劃。

進行《廣州三元宮志》的編撰與修訂，意義十分重大。廣州三元宮一直未曾撰修宮志，而本志亦是歷來廣東第一部道觀志。三元宮在廣東道觀發展史上有著自己的獨特性──秉承清代全真教龍門派的傳統，堅持為一座清淨修行的道觀。即使面對政治變遷中的諸多困境和波折，三元宮仍然得以保存，並發展成為現今廣州市最重要的宗教聖地之一。

本志共分為14章，包括廣州歷史地理概況，歷史沿革，宮觀建築，神祇供奉，嗣法傳承，信道文士，科儀文獻，文物，藝文，碑刻，慈惠活動，三元宮與香港蓬瀛仙館，三元宮與港澳臺及海外的往來，及大事活動記錄等，以全面整理和分析關於三元宮的記述，仔細爬疏三元宮從清初直到當代的發展歷程。本志重視宮內全真道龍門派道脈的傳承，詳列龍門派「陽」字輩到「高」字輩的譜系、歷代住持及道人小傳；注重碑刻資料的搜集，輯錄古往今來三元宮所有原碑或通過文獻記載保存下來的碑文共21通，其中清代10通、民國2通、當代9通，並對碑文資料的文言部分進行白話註釋，以更為平易的方式增進讀者對三元宮歷史的了解。三元宮在清代民國文人眼中是仙蹟流芳、叩禱靈應、環境清幽的穗城主山琳宮，為遊賞雅集之佳處，通過23首詩文重新發現粵地文人與三元宮的密切關係，真切地說明道教信仰與文人生活息息相關之處。本志亦注重對三元宮科儀經書進行蒐集整理，不僅有廣州三元宮、香港蓬瀛仙館和澳門吳慶雲道院的藏本，還有的是涵蓋英國倫敦大學亞非學院圖書館馬禮遜藏書中的7種三元宮科儀本。

道教宮觀是道教信仰與文化的重要載體之一，經常成為地方民眾的信仰中心；其歷史與文化亦是道教研究不能忽視的重要對象。建立在東晉道教越岡院傳統之上的廣州三元宮，已具400多年的歷史，見證了嶺南道教歷史的滄桑變遷，積累了厚重的南粵宮觀文化，而且作為粵地省會的主山琳宮，三元宮亦是廣東最為重要的道教叢林宮觀之一。作為第一部廣東道觀志，本書能讓讀者全面了解廣州三元宮歷史文化乃至嶺南道教史，弘揚粵地道教文化，為道教宮觀進行保育、開展慈善工作、對外交流等帶來啟示。

The Source of the Dao in Lingnan: the Gazetteer of the Three Principles Temple at Guangzhou

The Source of the Dao in Lingnan: the Gazetteer of the Three Principles Temple at Guangzhou is a project made possible and published through the collaboration of the Three Principles Temple of Guangzhou, Fung Ying Seen Koon of Hong Kong, the Centre for Studies of Daoist Culture, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. This Gazetteer is authored by Professor Lai Chi Tim, Director of the Centre for Studies of Daoist Culture, with the collaboration of Master Pan Zhixian, Abbot of the Three Principles Temple in Guangzhou, and Master Leung Tak Wah, Director General of Fung Ying Seen Koon (Hong Kong) in project planning.

The Gazetteer of the Three Principles Temple at Guangzhou is noteworthy as the very first gazetteer published by a Daoist temple in the history of the city. The Three Principles Temple holds a unique position in the history of the development of Daoism in Guangdong. Founded in the heritage of the Longmen branch of Quanzhen teachings, the temple provides calm retreat for Daoist priests to focus on the cultivation of neidan practices. Despite the numerous twists and turns of political change experienced throughout its history, the temple has remained well preserved and has developed into one of the most important sacred sites of Daoism in the city of Guangzhou.

The Gazetteer consists of fourteen chapters, first providing an overview of Guangzhou’s history and geography, followed by an in-depth coverage of the historical evolution of the Three Principles Temple, its sacred buildings, worship and enshrinement of deities, a legacy of temple abbots, Daoist literati followers, liturgical texts, cultural relics, literature and art, inscriptions, charitable activities, the relationship between the Three Principles Temple and Fung Ying Seen Koon, contacts and communications among the Three Principles Temple, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas regions, and finally, records of significant events. Due to the substantial archives and historical records of the Three Principles Temple, the Gazetteer is able to provide a comprehensive description of the development of the Temple commencing from the early Qing dynasty to the present. The Gazetteer elucidates that this collection within the Temple is an invaluable and irreplaceable inheritance of all branches following Quanzhen Longmen teachings, with particular emphasis on the preservation of the transmission of the poetic lineage from the “Yang” to the “Gao” generation, the short biographies of every abbot of the Temple, and the collection and compilation of all the original inscriptions of the Three Principles Temple. Preserved in order to prepare for the creation of this Gazetteer, there are a total of twenty-one inscribed materials, among which ten were created during the Qing dynasty, two during the Republican period, and nine in the following modern era. At the same time, detailed annotations in modern Chinese have been provided for these classical inscriptions in order to enable readers to more easily understand the profound historical background of the Three Principles Temple. Qing Dynasty and Republican literati held the Three Principles Temple in high respect as a palace frequented by a legendary list of celestial beings, for efficacious prayer, and for its peaceful environment—an ideal setting situated on the Yuexiu Mountain in northern Guangzhou for scholars to assemble, brainstorm, and foster friendships. The Gazetteer reveals that a close relationship developed between Guangdong literati and the priests of the Three Principles Temple, illustrating at the same time how Guangdong literati placed greater faith in Daoist belief. Furthermore, the collections of ritual texts and ritual observances of the Three Principles Temple highlight the above discoveries, including contributions from Fung Ying Seen Koon, the Daoist hall of Wuqingyu, and the seven versions of the ritual texts of the Three Principles Temple stored in the Morrison Collection of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

A temple is a most important depository of Daoist history, tradition, and culture, and it is often seen as a religious center in communities; it thus cannot be neglected in the studies of Daoism. Established in the Daoist Yue Gang court tradition during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Three Principles Temple has existed for 400 years in Guangzhou within the Lingnan region. Although its Daoist faithful have witnessed numerous vicissitudes throughout this history, they have managed to cultivate a dignified temple culture in the south Guangdong area. In addition, as the Temple is situated on the Yuexiu Mountain in the capital of Guangdong, the Temple has become one of the most important Daoism temples in the Lingnan region. As the first gazetteer of this Guangdong Daoist temple, the Gazetteer not only provides readers with a thorough understanding of the Three Principles Temple’s history and culture but further attempts to contribute a glimpse into Daoist history of the Lingnan region and hence, to support the promotion of Guangdong’s Daoist culture and shed light on Daoist temple preservation and construction, charitable activities, and devotion to establishing a reliable communications network with surrounding communities and the world at large.
