| 摘要 | In this article, I explore the understudied mortuary practices of late Ming eunuchs. Despite being central figures in the religious landscape of Ming Capital Beijing, their religious lives remain underrepresented in traditional historiography. This article places emphasis on the specific context of eunuchs' experiences, accounting for various factors, from the social implications of castration and eunuchs' severance from home to their relationship with Confucianism and values and needs that shaped their religious practices. Drawing from autobiographical notes, stelae inscriptions, epigraphic evidence, and other sources including poems, gazetteers, and travel diaries, this article shows the complex interplay between eunuchs and Buddhist institutions concerning their mortuary practices. Furthermore, it considers eunuchs from a range of social strata, ranging from top-ranking officers to those in menial roles whose lives were less documented than their well-educated and powerful counterparts. By looking into their mortuary customs, I argue that palace eunuchs negotiated and defined their identity, legacy, and posthumous memory through burials in Buddhist institutions. 本文探討了明末宦官的喪葬傳統。儘管宦官作為明代北京宗教生態的中心人物，但他們的宗教生活在傳統史學與文獻中未被充分描述。本文強調了在研究宦官宗教時重視其經歷的特定背景的重要性，考慮了包括閹割的社會含義、與家庭的脫節、宦官和儒家的關係、以及可能深刻塑造他們宗教實踐的價值觀和需求等各種因素。通過從自傳、碑銘、墓誌銘以及詩文、地方志和旅行日記等其他來源中獲得的資料，本文展示了宦官和佛寺之間基於喪葬產生的互動。此外，本文考察了各種社會階層的宮廷宦官，從高級太監到那些低級職位閹人，即便他們的生活記載遠不如其受過良好教育且有權力的宦官同僚。通過深入研究他們的喪葬傳統，我闡釋了宦官是如何通過佛教喪葬來談判和定義他們的身份、遺產和死後的記憶。 |
