宋代名紙(zhi),簡稱金粟(su)紙(zhi),或(huo)金粟(su)箋紙(zhi)。金粟(su)寺在浙江(jiang)省海鹽縣西南18公里,寺建(jian)于三國吳代。該(gai)寺曾(ceng)經(jing)(jing)藏(zang)(zang)有(you)北宋紀年(nian)的經(jing)(jing)藏(zang)(zang)數千(qian)軸(或(huo)稱萬余卷),每幅紙(zhi)背(bei)后(hou)印有(you)長方(fang)形紅(hong)色(se)小印“金粟(su)山藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)紙(zhi)”文字,紙(zhi)張兩面加蠟磨光,由于紙(zhi)質堅挺平滑(hua),抄寫文字“墨光黝澤(ze)如髹漆可鑒”,因而(er)“日漸被人(ren)盜去,四十年(nian)而(er)殆(dai)盡”。“好(hao)事者(zhe)剝(bo)取為裝潢之(zhi)用”。使金粟(su)山藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)紙(zhi)名揚四方(fang),求者(zhe)甚(shen)多,屢有(you)仿制(zhi)。
我國(guo)宋元兩(liang)代寺(si)(si)(si)廟(miao)名剎萬千(qian),藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)卷(juan)(juan)帙(zhi)汗(han)牛充(chong)棟(dong),即(ji)以(yi)明代海(hai)鹽縣為(wei)(wei)例(li),寺(si)(si)(si)廟(miao)祠院(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)庵(an)即(ji)達139所(suo)(suo)。但以(yi)一(yi)處寺(si)(si)(si)院(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)命名的藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),歷史上似(si)僅有(you)(you)金(jin)(jin)粟(su)寺(si)(si)(si)一(yi)處。以(yi)宋代一(yi)些(xie)(xie)寺(si)(si)(si)廟(miao)刻印(yin)(yin)藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing),印(yin)(yin)藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)的紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)有(you)(you)些(xie)(xie)就(jiu)是寺(si)(si)(si)內(nei)自(zi)己請工(gong)匠所(suo)(suo)造(zao),如(ru)(ru)海(hai)鹽《法(fa)喜寺(si)(si)(si)藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)》,流(liu)傳(chuan)絕少,惟曾有(you)(you)背紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)幾番,為(wei)(wei)張(zhang)燕昌所(suo)(suo)藏(zang)(zang),光(guang)潔(jie)如(ru)(ru)玉,與金(jin)(jin)粟(su)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)無異,今存宋熙寧十(shi)年(nian)(1077)寫海(hai)鹽縣法(fa)喜寺(si)(si)(si)轉輪大藏(zang)(zang)本《大般若波羅蜜多(duo)經(jing)(jing)(jing)》六(liu)百卷(juan)(juan)(存卷(juan)(juan)八十(shi)九(jiu)),藏(zang)(zang)中國(guo)國(guo)家(jia)圖(tu)書(shu)館。也有(you)(you)并(bing)無自(zi)己的品牌紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)來寫大藏(zang)(zang)的,如(ru)(ru)江蘇句容縣《崇(chong)明寺(si)(si)(si)大藏(zang)(zang)》中《說一(yi)切有(you)(you)部品類(lei)足論(lun)》(殘存卷(juan)(juan)十(shi)一(yi)),今存上海(hai)圖(tu)書(shu)館。金(jin)(jin)粟(su)山在浙江省海(hai)鹽縣西(xi)南三十(shi)六(liu)里處,位于澉浦西(xi)北茶院(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)村有(you)(you)金(jin)(jin)粟(su)寺(si)(si)(si),宋大中祥符(1008-1016)初元始改為(wei)(wei)廣(guang)惠禪院(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)。寺(si)(si)(si)中有(you)(you)金(jin)(jin)粟(su)山藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi),此紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)大約造(zao)於宋代治平年(nian)(公元1064-1067年(nian))或(huo)更早,乃用桑皮、楮皮加工(gong)而成,專供寺(si)(si)(si)院(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)寫經(jing)(jing)(jing)之(zhi)用。紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)上有(you)(you)朱色小印(yin)(yin)「金(jin)(jin)栗山藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)」,其內(nei)外涂以(yi)白蠟并(bing)砑光(guang),又以(yi)藥水濡染(ran)使之(zhi)發黃,紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)厚重,紋理粗,精(jing)細瑩(ying)滑,久存不(bu)朽,書(shu)寫效(xiao)果絕佳。由于千(qian)年(nian)滄桑,紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)面(mian)墨色如(ru)(ru)初。
金粟(su)寺之大藏(zang)(zang),即用自制藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)紙書寫,故稱(cheng)之為「北(bei)宋寫金粟(su)山(shan)(shan)大藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)」,又(you)稱(cheng)「海鹽金粟(su)山(shan)(shan)廣(guang)惠禪院大藏(zang)(zang)」,經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)為卷軸裝,計六百函萬馀卷,每(mei)紙三十(shi)(shi)(shi)行,行十(shi)(shi)(shi)七字,朱絲欄,以千字文編號。每(mei)幅紙心皆(jie)鈐有朱色「金粟(su)山(shan)(shan)藏(zang)(zang)經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)紙」小(xiao)長方(fang)印(yin)。卷端下(xia)小(xiao)字題寫「海鹽金粟(su)山(shan)(shan)廣(guang)惠禪院大藏(zang)(zang)」。卷軸裝中經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)重新改為經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)折裝者也有,但甚(shen)少,如(ru)《大般若波羅蜜(mi)多經(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)》(存(cun)卷十(shi)(shi)(shi)三)、《阿(a)毗(pi)達磨(mo)識身足論(lun)》(存(cun)卷八十(shi)(shi)(shi)七)。
