唐道士叶法善三教思想考略

Abstract

In history, some descriptions of Ye Fashan, a Taoist scholar in Tang Dynasty, were mythological, vague or wrong. The descriptions of Ye Fashan are interlaced and confused with the descriptions of Ye Jingneng, Ye Jing, Zhang Guo and Luo Gongyuan. In addition, after a long history, Ye Fashan's image as a Taoist master is gradually blurred and obscured. This paper is based on the records of the official history, the literature of the collection of books, inscriptions on a tablet and the existing research, etc. This paper makes a research on Ye Fashan's main academic thoughts related to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, including the Taoist thought of impeachment of ghosts and gods, the thought of Dan Avenue, the thought of filial piety and the thought of exclusion of Buddhism. And this paper attempts to study Ye Fashan, which has historical authenticity, and restore his ideological history as a Taoist master, so as to understand the true scene of the development of Taoist thought in Tang Dynasty in a more comprehensive way.
