AbstractPrimers and other didactic texts are an important genre among the surviving collections of
medieval manuscripts and prints. The Mengqiu 蒙求, a primer attributed to Li Han 李瀚 (d. u.)
of the Tang dynasty, is one of these. Although following the Song period the text fell into disuse,
early copies survived in Japan, where it remained in continuous use all the way through modern
times. During the twentieth century several copies of the text were discovered in regions which
were at the margins of Chinese civilization, notably among the texts excavated from the sealed
off library cave near Dunhuang 敦煌; the ruins of the forgotten Tangut city of Khara-khoto
(Heishuicheng 黑水城); and the Liao 遼 period wooden pagoda in Ying county 應縣. Most
interestingly, all of these sites belonged to border regimes which at the time were not part of
China proper, and thus the finds attest to the popularity of this text among the inhabitants of
these states. This paper examines the handwritten and printed versions of the Mengqiu
discovered at these sites in an attempt to draw attention to the text’s significance in Chinese-language education beyond the borders of the Chinese states.

在現存的唐宋寫本和刻本中,中國古代蒙書是一重要種類,而唐李瀚編撰的《蒙求》為其
中之一。雖然宋代以後此書基本上散佚,但是在日本的使用一直持續到近代,所以有幾件
較早的抄本保存下來。另外,二十世紀也有幾件《蒙求》發現在一些唐宋時作為中國邊境
國家地區,即在莫高窟藏經洞發現的敦煌卷子中、在西夏古城黑水城遺址發掘的西夏與漢
文書內、和在山西應縣佛宮寺的遼代木塔所出文獻里。有意思的是,抄寫或刻印時出土的
這幾件文獻的遺址並不屬于中國本地,而在邊疆以外,因此幾次發現印證《蒙求》在本地
人民間具有一定的流行性。本文針對這幾件新出土抄本與刻本進行探索,以引起對《蒙
求》在中國境外區域作為漢文蒙書的流行和使用的注意。
