摘　　要：2008年南京报恩寺阿育王塔出土了白木香和乳香两种北宋时期香料。本文梳理了南京报恩寺及阿育王塔的历史,通过文献说明了阿育王塔与宋代长干寺圣感舍利宝塔的关系;整理了我国古代典籍中对白木香和乳香的记载,考证出阿育王塔中的白木香乃沉香中的上品,乳香是印度的上品乳香-滴乳;探究了七宝阿育王塔中装藏白木香和乳香的缘由。最后,综合前人对现代白木香和乳香有效化学成分的分析结果,比较了阿育王塔出土白木香和乳香的有效化学成分。Two kinds of ancient spices, Aquilaria sinensis and Boswellia carterii, were unearthed from one gilding silver Asoka Tower of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Bao＇ en Temple ruins of Nanjing in 2008 by the Nanjing Municipal Museum. This paper discusses the relationship between the Bao＇en Temple and the Changgan Temple at Northern Song Dynasty, offers reasonable explanations on why those two spices were chosen and filled the A- soka Tower based on relevant records in ancient literatures, and compares the chemical compositions of modern spices and Nanjing samples.
