宋代名(ming)紙(zhi)(zhi),簡(jian)稱(cheng)金粟(su)紙(zhi)(zhi),或(huo)金粟(su)箋紙(zhi)(zhi)。金粟(su)寺在浙(zhe)江省海鹽縣西南18公里,寺建于三國吳(wu)代。該寺曾經藏有北宋紀(ji)年的(de)經藏數千(qian)軸(zhou)(或(huo)稱(cheng)萬余卷),每(mei)幅紙(zhi)(zhi)背(bei)后印有長(chang)方形紅色小印“金粟(su)山藏經紙(zhi)(zhi)”文(wen)字,紙(zhi)(zhi)張兩面加蠟磨光(guang),由于紙(zhi)(zhi)質堅挺平(ping)滑,抄寫(xie)文(wen)字“墨光(guang)黝澤(ze)如髹漆可鑒”,因(yin)而“日(ri)漸被人盜去,四十年而殆盡”。“好事者剝取為(wei)裝潢之(zhi)用”。使金粟(su)山藏經紙(zhi)(zhi)名(ming)揚四方,求者甚多,屢有仿(fang)制(zhi)。

金(jin)(jin)粟寺之大(da)(da)藏,即用自制藏經(jing)(jing)紙書寫,故稱之為「北宋寫金(jin)(jin)粟山(shan)大(da)(da)藏經(jing)(jing)」,又稱「海(hai)鹽(yan)金(jin)(jin)粟山(shan)廣惠(hui)禪院(yuan)大(da)(da)藏」,經(jing)(jing)為卷(juan)(juan)軸裝(zhuang),計六(liu)百函萬馀卷(juan)(juan),每紙三十(shi)行,行十(shi)七字,朱絲欄,以(yi)千字文編號。每幅紙心皆鈐(qian)有(you)朱色「金(jin)(jin)粟山(shan)藏經(jing)(jing)紙」小(xiao)長(chang)方(fang)印。卷(juan)(juan)端(duan)下小(xiao)字題寫「海(hai)鹽(yan)金(jin)(jin)粟山(shan)廣惠(hui)禪院(yuan)大(da)(da)藏」。卷(juan)(juan)軸裝(zhuang)中經(jing)(jing)重新改為經(jing)(jing)折裝(zhuang)者也有(you),但甚少,如《大(da)(da)般若波羅蜜多經(jing)(jing)》(存(cun)(cun)卷(juan)(juan)十(shi)三)、《阿毗達磨(mo)識身足(zu)論》(存(cun)(cun)卷(juan)(juan)八(ba)十(shi)七)。
