摘　　要："无生老母,真空家乡"是明清两代民间宗教所共奉的八字真言。这一信仰内容的出现经历了一个曲折的过程。在黄天教之前,民间已经出现"无生父母"的概念,这一"无生父母"信仰因其外在化的特征而被罗教之罗祖批判并以内在化的"无极圣祖"代之。黄天教在罗教之后,一反罗教内在化的体证之路,重新建立了一个外在化的信仰天国,明确提出"无生老母"这一概念,并首次将其以完整的故事形态呈现出来。而无生老母信仰,也正是在黄天教之后,以一个系统化了的姿态,成为民间宗教世界里共奉的一套信仰观念。'The Unborn Old Mother and the Truly Empty Old Country' was the universal belief in the folk religion in Ming and Qing. The forming process of this belief was tortuous. Before Huangtianism, ' the Unborn Father and Mother' had appeared which was criticized by Luo Zu and was replaced by the 'Promise Forefather'. Huangtianism rebuild an external kingdom, and put forward the idea of 'the Unborn Old Mother' which was dramatized. Then, the belief of 'the Unborn Old Mother' became the universal belief in the folk religion.
