魏晋南北朝僧诗的历史文化价值

The Historical and Cultural Values of Poems by Monks in the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties

魏晋南北朝是中华文化大规模碰撞、交汇的历史时期,是中国传统文化儒、释、道三教相对自由发展的阶段。魏晋南北朝僧诗是在上述历史背景之下产生的多元文化混合体,这是它在中国诗歌类型发生学意义上的主要特点。对魏晋南北朝僧诗的解读可以从一个侧面印证佛教文化是如何由客体文化向中华文明主体文化的补充地位递进,以及佛教话语如何影响并转化为中国文化及民众日常思想表达形式。因此,研究僧诗,重在发掘其历史文化价值。

The Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties is a free-developed period of collision and associations of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism of traditional Chinese culture.Poems by monks are a mixture of multi-cultures,a main characteristic of Chinese poems in genre.To understand their poems may prove how Buddhist culture as an objective one can be changed into a subjective one of Chinese civilization,and how Buddhist discourse affects and transforms Chinese culture and daily thinking,and thus studies on poems by monks should lay emphasis on their historical and cultural value.
