Date of birth and death unknown. Founder of the Five Pours of Rice Tao (Gotobei-do, later also called Zhengyi-kyo) which arose in the middle of the 2nd century at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. He is also revered as the "founder" of Taoism, and is therefore also known as Zhang Daoling. He was originally from Feng in the Pei state (northern Jiangsu province). He later moved to Heming Mountain in Shu (Sichuan province), where he spread talismans (paper charms) and Taoist writings for healing, and organized a religious sect (Five Pours of Rice Tao). According to Taoist legend, Zhang Ling was granted the title of Heavenly Master by the heavens, and given the name "New Laozi" (Laozi newly appeared in the world) in 142. In the sense of being an intermediary between heaven and man, he is comparable to the Chinese "Son of Heaven", Moses, Jesus Christ, and Muhammad. From the Tang Dynasty to the present day, the headquarters of the Zhengyi sect has been in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi Province, but after the Chinese Revolution, many Taoists fled to Taiwan. Therefore, the worship of Zhang Daoling continues in Taiwan to this day. His statue has a blue face, wears a Taoist robe, holds a sword to fight against demons, and sometimes rides a tiger.

生没年不詳。中国、後漢(ごかん)末2世紀中ごろにおこった五斗米道(ごとべいどう)(天師道、のちに正一(しょういつ)教ともよばれる)の開祖。道教の「教祖」としても尊崇され、したがって、張道陵ともよばれる。もとは沛(はい)国(江蘇(こうそ)省北部)豊の人。のちに蜀(しょく)(四川(しせん)省)の鶴鳴(かくめい)山に移り、治病のための符(ふ)(お札(ふだ))や道書を広めて宗教教団(五斗米道)を組織した。道教の伝承によれば、張陵は天から天師の位を授けられ、「新出老君」(新たに世に現れた老子)という名を142年に下されている。天と人との間の仲介者という意味では、中国の「天子」や、モーセ、キリスト、ムハンマド(マホメット)などに匹敵するであろう。唐代から今日まで、正一教の本拠は江西省竜虎山(りゅうこざん)にあるが、中国革命後、道士は多く台湾に亡命した。そのため、台湾では今日でも張道陵崇拝が続いている。彼の像は青い面を有し、道士の衣冠を着け、悪魔に立ち向かう剣を持ち、ときには虎(とら)にまたがる姿になっている。 [アンナ・ザイデル 2018年5月21日] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
