敦煌寫卷S•1635號《泉州千佛新著諸祖師頌》是一份與《祖堂集》有關唯一的同時代資料，也是《祖堂集》的資料來源之一。怎樣理解兩者的關聯是個重要的課題。筆者經過研究認識到兩份資料都有增補發展的過程，從作者僜（省僜）禪師的傳記和唐宋五代泉州的史的角度解決了這個課題。

The Dunhuang manuscript entitled "New Eulogies of the Patriarchs. written by the Chan master of Qianfo temple in Quanzhou"(泉州千佛新著諸祖師頌, Stein 1635) was one of the sources used for the composition of the "Patriarch's Hall Collect ion"(Zutang ji 祖堂集). This manuscript is in fact the only contemporaneous text which is related to the Zutang ji. It is thus important for us to understand the connection between these two texts. In the present article the author attempts to untangle this problem by considering the biography of the author of the text, Chan master Wenteng(文.), and the hi story of the Quanzhou region during the late Tang and Five Dynasties period. The author's research will show that a process of expansion and development can be observed in both texts.
