唐代小说中的法术僧人与另类僧人

唐代小说中的僧人形象 ,高僧很少 ,也没有体现多少佛教思想。“服务型法术僧人”形象 ,缺乏佛教色彩 ;“斗法型法术僧人”形象 ,只是佛教与中国本土文化矛盾斗争中失败的象征。“另类僧人”形象 ,反佛教的主旨更加明显。这些都体现了唐代小说的反佛教倾向。六朝多“辅教小说”而无反佛教小说 ,唐代小说宣传佛教者少而反佛者极多 ,这与唐代科举制度加强了士大夫与中国本土文化之间的亲缘关系等原因有关。

On the Magic-monks and Anti-monks in the Stories of the Tang Dynasty

In the stories of the Tang Dynasty, there are few eminent monk images and little Buddhist thoughts. The image of service type magic monks lacks Buddhist colour, and the image of monks who match magic powers merely symbolizes the defeat of Buddhism in its competition with Chinese traditional culture. The image of anti monks highlights the keynote of anti Buddhism. All these reflect the general trend of anti Buddhism in the stories of the Tang Dynasty.In the Six Dynasties, there are more pro Buddhism stories than anti Buddhism ones. In the Tang Dynasty, an opposite trend of anti buddhism exists owing to the imperial examinations that strenthen the affinity links between Chinese scholars and Chinese traditional culture.
