本文主旨在於對於中國中古時期的佛道關係研究進行回顧與評述，其中包含過去對佛道交涉研究的狀況作回顧，而同時也對近來佛道交涉研究在方法上與文獻上研究的新趨勢予以介紹。透過國際上佛道交涉研究的掌握，使我們瞭解這個研究領域的成型與發展。本文同時透過幾個角度來開展佛道交涉的研究：宗教融合、傳遞與接受、內在描述與外在描述文獻。本文最後以古靈寶經的研究為案例，檢討中古時期佛道交涉的研究。

This paper reviews several studies on the relationship between Buddhism and Daoism during the medieval period. It assesses the different methodological approaches used by scholars to examine the interaction between Daoists and Buddhists. The history of this interaction leads to questions about the nature of the divisions between these two religious traditions. The review covers a variety of different approaches, including syncretism, transmission and reception, and descriptions from both internal and external perspectives. It demonstrates the value of these studies and describes the contributions they have made to research on medieval Chinese religion.
