元代新建佛寺略論

On Newly built Buddhist Temples in Yuan Dynasty

元代佛寺遍佈各地。佛寺中有前代建造的"舊刹",亦有當代營建的新寺。元代的新寺,分别由皇家、朝廷、權貴官僚、民間人士和僧尼建造。新寺在全部佛寺中所占比重不大。皇家佛寺的不斷建造,佛寺在蒙古草原的興建,以及藏傳佛教寺院在中原和江南的興起,是元代新寺的幾個特色。

There were Buddhist temples across the country in Yuan Dynasty,including old ones and the newly built. The new temples were built by the imperial family,the government,the bureaucratic elite,social and Buddhist people. As a relatively small proportion of all the temples,the new ones have several features,such as continuous construction of royal temples,construction on the Mongolia grassland and the rise of Tibetan Buddhist temples in central China and Jiangnan area.
