《許太史真君圖傳》是《道藏》所收諸種許遜傳記中唯一附刻插圖的。本論文結合藏外文獻如《許旌陽事蹟圖》等,探討《許太史真君圖傳》與《許真君仙傳》之間的關係,進而對淨明道祖師圖像傳統之源流進行初步的研究。
Of the biographies of Xu Xun許遜 collected in the Daoist Canon道藏, Xu taishi zhenjun tu zhuan許太史真君圖傳 is the only one that includes illustrations. This paper attempts to analyze traditional images of Xu Xun, Patriarch of the Jingming Daoist sect淨明道, by studying texts outside the Daoist Canon such as Xu jing yang shi ji tu許旌陽事蹟圖 and exploring the relation between Xu taishi zhenjun tu zhuan and Xu zh jun xian zhuan許真君仙傳. This paper thus constitutes an initial study on the origin and development of traditional images of Xu Xun.
