中文摘要

元代道士李道純精研丹道,著作甚豐,後世對其討論多置於內丹修煉與三教合一,然《寶顏堂秘笈》收有《周易尚占》,是一部占筮典籍,卻未有太深入之研究。《周易尚占》結合丹道講述《易》學占筮,上承京房《易》說與《火珠林》的筮法體系,在運用《易》學象數行蓍的過程中,擴展卦爻符號的象徵意義,發揮深刻的《易》理旨趣。目前學界對李道純討論之重心多置於三教會通及丹道煉養理論,就其卜筮《易》學之深研付之闕如,期望能藉由本計畫的耕耘,深化對李道純《易》學之研究,補足歷來對李道純學術討論的偏失,進而完整呈現其學說論著之系統性、全面性。另一方面,本計畫將比較自漢代京房《易》學、《火珠林》到《周易尚占》之間的承襲與差異,呈現該書於《易》學史之重要性,另一方面則是彌縫補闕,補充目前《易》學史對卜筮《易》學仍待開發的題目。

Abstract

Li Dao-Chun, a Daoist mastering Chinese alchemy and a prolific writer in the Yuan dynasty, is often discussed by later generations for his inner alchemy practice and integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. No in-depth research expounds his book of divination A Treatise on the Divination of The Classic of Changes, included in his Secrets of the Bao-Yan Hall. Succeeding Jing Fang’s theory of The Classic of Changes and the divination system of The Fire Pearl Forest, the Treatise combines Chinese alchemy to illuminate the divination of The Classic of Changes. In the process of applying the images in The Classic of Changes to divine, it expands the symbolic meaning of the hexagram line symbols and elaborates on the meaning of The Classic of Changes. At present, most academic discussions on Li Da-Chun focus on his integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism and his alchemical operation theory, without touching on his study on divination of The Classic of Changes. Though the efforts of this project, I hope to deepen studies on Li’s pure Classic of Changes studies, solve the shortages of the academic discussions on Li so far, and completely present the systematicness and comprehensiveness of his theories and treatises. On the other hand, this project compares the inheritance relationships and differences among Jing Fang’s studies of The Classic of Changes in the Han dynasty, The Fire Pearl Forest, and A Treatise on the Divination of the Classic of Changes. In doing so, it both demonstrates the Treatise’s importance in the history of The Classic of Changes studies and fills the gaps of and increases topics related to divination in the history of The Classic of Changes studies that remain to be developed.
