唐代著名道士叶法善与叶静能,两人历史活动大相径庭,而中唐以后的志怪小说,普遍将两人的故事混窜。情节相同而主角不断更换的异文本大量存在,叙事者在讲述两位叶道士的故事时,不甚在意主角究竟为谁。唐代的叶道士叙事,足以表明当时的文学作者对于道士存在着一种类型化的认识,我们更可以由此考察唐代民众对整个道士阶层的集体宗教想象。 The famous priests in the Tang Dynasty Ye Fushan and Ye Jingneng, two very different historical activities, but after the Mid-Tang Chi novels, the two generally mixed story. There are many different texts with the same plot and changing protagonists. When the storyteller tells the story of two leaf priests, he does not care much about who the protagonist is. The Ye Taoist narration in the Tang Dynasty was enough to show that literary writers at the time had a typed understanding of the Taoist priest and that we could examine the mass religious imagination of the entire Taoist class in the Tang Dynasty.
