摘　　要：《弘明集》是现存最早的一部护法弘教的佛教文献,《牟子理惑论》作为开篇之作,其重要性不言自明。从《隋书•经籍志》著录引起疑误之始至于近日,它引出的诸如文章之真伪、作者及成书之年代等问题,自明代胡应麟怀疑以来,代有学者尝试释疑,而问题似愈积愈多终未有定论。本文以《牟子理惑论》序言的解读为重点,结合序言所提供的当时之史料,广泛结合诸家之论,认为《牟子理惑论》非伪书,作者可能为刻意隐藏真实姓名的佛家弟子,其生活年代大致在汉灵帝熹平六年至晋惠帝元康元年。The Hong Ming Ji(Collection on the Propagation and Clarification of Buddhism)is the earliest document protecting and maintaining Buddha dharma extant in the world,and the importance of Mou Zi's Understanding of Buddhism as the first works is self-evident.Since the doubts and errors raised by the Classic Annals of the Book of Sui till today,issues such as the authenticity of the article,the author,and the date of completion have been doubted and tried to be explained by generations of scholars since Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty,yet the issues snowball and remain inconclusive.By focusing on the interpretation of the preface of Mou Zi's Understanding of Buddhism and combining the historical data provided in the preface and argument of various schools of thought,the paper considers that the Mou Zi's Understanding of Buddhism is not a pseudograph and the author may be a Buddhist disciple who deliberately hides real name,living between the sixth year of Xiping Period of Han Dynasty to the first year of Yuankang Period of Jin Dynasty.
