摘要
今《道藏》本《三十六水法》经两次增补而成。在古本基础上第一次增补时间在葛洪之后至《黄帝九鼎神丹经诀》出世(公元634—659年)以前,形成今本前半部分内容。第二次增补在唐宋时期,其内容即今本后半部分7种水。从水法制备所用容器、程序繁简程度、成水所需时间等角度,对第一次增补的15种水方一一考证,揭示出了《三十六水法》古本真貌。通过古本《三十六水法》与《抱朴子.内篇》以及《五十二病方》的比较,证明古本《三十六水法》为西汉古籍。经进一步分析认为,水法最初用于饮服成仙,用于炼丹是其后来的功能。
Through textual research and analysis on the Taoist text Thirty-six Methods for Bring- ing Solids into Aqueous Solution in Dao Zang(Taoist Patrology), this article holds that the text in question falls into three parts. The oldest part was written by someone during the Western Han Dynasty, which was the true text of Thirty-six Methods for Bringing Solids into Aqueous Solution. Then a Taoist living between Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty added fifteen kinds of aqueous methods. And another seven kinds were added during the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty. The article also deems that aqueous methods were originally used for drinking to be immortal.
