摘要:老撾北部藍靛瑤族的儀式傳統中具有濃厚的道教元素,在大英圖書館瀕危檔案計劃和香港研究資助局「優配研究金」的支持下,我們在2015-2019年期間展開了全面而深入的田野調查,通過與當地的道公、師公共同搜集文本,對老撾整個藍靛瑤族地區的2120冊手稿實行保護措施,將所有文本掃描,整理成為「老撾藍靛瑤族文本遺產數位圖書館」。面對這一數量龐大且種類豐富的文本群,進行細緻研究的首要步驟就是全面了解其構成,結合文獻研究和田野調查的方法,對其進行分類及編目。除此之外,本研究還致力於篩選出具有代表性的最佳文本,作為老撾藍靛瑤族文獻的「參考文庫」。本文將介紹有關瑤族手稿的使用背景、收集過程、分類、編目和評估的方法及相關問題。

Abstract:The Lanten, a population also known as Lao Huay or Yao Mun, living in the highlands of continental Southeast Asia, have been exposed for centuries to conflicts and processes of marginalisation, ranging from clashes with various Chinese dynasties from the 14th century onwards to their involvement in the Indochina Wars from the 1940s to the 1970s. These forced them to undertake long migrations that brought them from their native land in China to Vietnam and Laos. In the face of these vicissitudes, the Lanten society has displayed extraordinary resilience. In this respect, the Lanten belief system and particularly the roles performed by the Lanten ritual experts and their Daoist manuscripts are of essential importance. This article aims to present and analyse the socio-historical background of these manuscripts, some of them dating back to the 18th century, their means of production and transmission, and their current ritual use as ritual objects as part of a living tradition. Furthermore, it introduces the Yao Dao research project in Laos, China, and Vietnam, and the digitisation endeavour (Endangered Archives Programme EAP791 and EAP1126; 2015-2020) that has resulted in the preservation by means of digitally copying them of 2120 Lanten manuscripts in northern Laos.
