註疏 Commentary
[Aaron Reich]: This handwritten ritual manual was acquired by Huang Yong 黃永, Vice Minister of the Directorate of Palace Eunuchs (Neiguanjian zuojiancheng 內官監左監丞), in 1481. In an archival study published in 2019, Xu Wei 許蔚 of Fudan University examines several catalogues from the National Beiping Library (Guoli Beiping tushuguan 國立北平圖書館), each of which sheds light on the historical transmission of this manual and several other Daoist ritual texts dating from the same period. Firstly, the title of the manual appears in a 1930 library exhibition catalogue, which states that the manual had previously been housed in the Archives of the Grand Secretariat (Neige daku 內閣大庫), along with 20 other Daoist liturgical texts that had moved to the library’s collection. Secondly, the library published a catalogue of its rare books in 1933, which describes the manual as “a manuscript from the Ming Imperial Storehouse” (Ming neifu chaoben 明內府抄本). Finally, yet another library exhibition catalogue from 1931 classifies the manual and 20 other Daoist texts as “manuscripts from the Ming Chenghua period [1464–1487 CE]” (Ming Chenghua jian chaoben 明成化間抄本). This dating, Xu Wei surmises, derives from the date listed in precisely this manual (when Huang Yong acquired the text), as this is the only text in the group of 21 texts to include a date from the Chenghua reign period. With regard to its contents, the manual contains several sets of ritual instructions for praying for rain or snow. Its ritual techniques belong to the broad category of Thunder ritual (leifa 雷法), which scholars surmise became part of Daoist liturgical systems “from the twelfth century onward” (Skar, EOT, p. 627). The manual’s methods operate primarily according to an exorcistic paradigm: they instruct practitioners on procedures for calling upon powerful martial deities and dispatching them to eliminate the maleficent entities that have caused harmful weather patterns. These procedures involve a repertoire of liturgical actions common across various forms of Daoist practice, including the production of talismans, the incantation of spells, and the construction of ritual altars. In terms of its liturgical heritage, the manual accords with a trend that Xu Wei has identified for a large portion of the Ming Daoist manuscripts in the library’s archives: while most of their methods belong to the Shenxiao 神霄 ritual tradition, the manuals also blend methods and elements from other lineage groups, namely Qingwei 清微, Doumu 斗姆, Fengyue 豐嶽, and Disi 地司. This manual and its counterparts in the National Library of China therefore suggest that Daoist Thunder ritual in the Ming period became increasingly eclectic from the fifteenth-century onward.
