Abstract 隨著佛教漢化,西元八到十二世紀,漢傳佛教移植自印度聖地,在中土建立菩薩化現的佛教名山,從此佛教徒不必千里迢迢至印度朝聖,聖山信仰的形成可謂佛教本土化的最佳途徑,而文殊五臺山、觀音普陀山、普賢峨眉山、地藏九華山,更在靈驗傳說的推波助瀾下 ,名揚四方。其中,雄踞西蜀的峨眉山,二十世紀三十年代還透過當時任教華西大學費爾樸教授(Draden Linsley Phelps)英譯《峨山圖志》 (Omei Illus-Trated Guide Book),聲名遠播海外。值得留意的是,依序言得知費氏譯書動機除了緣於對中國名山之神往,很大因素是翻讀了一本清末文人譚鍾嶽《峨山志圖說》一書,見書中熔歷史材料和奇古傳說,並附圖與詩,圖文並茂介說峨眉山,遂決心譯書。
本文關注的即是譚鍾嶽(生卒不詳)《峨山志圖說》一書。是書緣於清光緒十一年(1885)四川總督丁寶楨 (1820-1886)奏准對峨眉山「春秋致祭」令四川道台黃綬芙(生卒不詳)籌款建廟,委詩、畫兼善的湖南文人譚鍾嶽繪制山圖,上報朝廷。光緒十三年( 1887)譚氏經實地考察,查閱典籍史料,計繪峨山總圖一幅,散圖五十三幅,撮佳景十幅,附詩四十六首。是書圖文互補,性質介在志書和遊記之間,具體勾勒清代普賢菩薩道場峨眉山的實際景況,研究價值不容錯過。目前學界關於此書的研究不多,且未有較深入的探析。筆者認為作為一本將「上報朝廷」的圖說志書,譚氏編排、繪制峨眉山的圖文策略值得一探。

The Sinicization of Buddhism began in the 8th century and lasted until the 12th century. Chinese Buddhism originated in the holy land of India and established the famous Buddhist mountains in China where Bodhisattvas were incarnated, so that Buddhists did not have to go all the way to India for pilgrimage. The formation of the belief in sacred mountains was the best way to localize Buddhism, and Wenshu on Mount Wutai, Guanyin on Mount Putuo, Puxian on Mount Emei, and Dizang on Mount Jiuhua have become famous all over the world, fueled by the legend of spiritual deeds. Among them, Mount Emei, which is located in Xishu (Western Sichuan), became famous overseas in the 1930s through the English translation of the Omei Illus-Trated Guide Book by Draden Linsley Phelps, who was then teaching at West China Union University. It is worth noting that, according to the preface, Phelps’ motivation for translating the book was not only due to his fascination with China’s famous mountains, but also due to the fact that he read a book entitled “Mount Emei Illustrated Guide” by Tan Zhongyue, the literatus in the late Qing Dynest. He saw the book’s blend of historical materials and magical ancient legends, accompanied by pictures and poems, describing Mount Omei in both illustration and text, so he was determined to translate the book.
This article is concerned with the book “Mount Emei Illustrated Guide” by Tan Zhongyue (date of birth and death unknown). The book is based on the fact that in the 11th year of the Guangxu Emperor’s reign in Qing Dynasty (1885), Ding Baozhen, the Governor of Sichuan, had submitted a petition to conduct “spring and autumn rituals to offer sacrifices to gods” on Mount Emei and obtained the approval of the imperial court, so he ordered Huang Shoufu (date of birth and death unknown), the Daotai (fourth-ranking official) of Sichuan, to raise funds to build a temple and appointed Tan Zhongyue, a literatus from Hunan who was good at both poetry and painting, to draw a map of the mountain and submit it to the court. In the 13th year of Guangxu Emperor’s reign in Qing Dynasty (1887), Tan drew a general map of Mount Emei, 53 scattered maps, 10 scenic views, and 46 poems, after a field trip and a search of historical materials. The book uses pictures and text to complement each other, and its nature is somewhere between a local journal and a travelogue, specifically outlining the actual scenery of Mount Emei, the place of the Bodhisattva Puxian in the Qing Dynasty, and its research value should not be missed. At present, there are not many studies on this book, and there is no more in-depth analysis. The author believes that as an illustrated book that will be reported to the court, Tan’s graphic strategy of arranging and drawing Mount Emei is worth exploring.
