《元阳经》是形成于中国南北朝时期的道教灵宝派经典。该经典以佛教《涅槃经》为基础而形成，呈现出古代道教思想变动的特点，特别是对“道性论”思想的转变具有重要影响。现有两种版本，分别为《太上灵宝元阳妙经》（简称《元阳经》）和敦煌本《元阳经》。《元阳经》的理论基础是佛教缘起论和道教气化论，为了解决见道性、得真道、禀道而生之问题的道性论，则呈现为道教的气化论、得真道思想与佛教的缘起论、涅槃思想相结合的产物，体现出道性论的佛教化过程，而生成论、实践论、解脱论等理论框架均关联于此。本文尝试揭示在身体、心理和情感层面所应采取的理论和实践行动的阶段，并尝试对经文中出现的神灵体系进行归纳总结。

“Yuanyang jing” is a Daoist scripture written in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of ancient China, which belongs to the Lingbao sect. Based on the Buddhist scripture Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, Yuanyang jing shows the characteristics of the ideological change of ancient Daoism, particularly has a great influence on the topic of the Dao-nature (daoxing 道性). There are two versions of the scripture, including the “Taishang lingbao yuanyang miaojing” (“Yuanyang jing” for short) and the Dunhuang version of the Yuanyang jing. The Daoist theory of Chi-Hua and the Buddhist theory of Pratityasamutpada are the basis of Yuanyang Jing. The theory of the Dao-nature, which aims at the solution of realizing the truth of Dao and co-create within the Dao, embodies as the combination of the Daoist theory of Chi-Hua, the realization of Dao, and the Buddhist theory of Pratītyasamutpāda and Nirvāṇa, shows the Buddhism-direction development of the Dao-nature theory. The topics on generation, practice and liberation in Yuanyang jing are highly connected with it. This study aims to find out the theories and practice levels on the facets of body, mind and emotion, and tries to summarize the gods’ system in Yuanyang jing.
