宋初僧人对北宋文学革新的认识与回应——以释智圆和释契嵩为中心的考察

北宋中叶的文学革新是我国文学发展史的一个“里程碑”。北宋中期以来,古文运动继中唐之后在学术界再次掀起高潮。倡导古文、复兴儒学成为学者们共同关心的话题。从韩愈到宋代诸儒,古文运动事实上是儒学复兴运动的重要组成部分。围绕着“文”与“道”的关系问题,宋代学术界不同群体,从不同的侧面不同的立场阐发了对这一问题的讨论。在宋学形成前,以释智圆、释契嵩为中心的一大批“儒化”的僧人,从佛学的角度对这场日益兴起的文学革新运动给予了关注。他们对晚唐体、西崑体、太学体的批评,对“文”与“道”关系的认识与思考,基本上使古文运动沿着正确的方向前进,为后来的文学复古革新和散文正宗地位的确立初步扫清了道路。
