宋元滨海地域明教非海路输入辨

The Manichaeism on the Coastal Area during the Song and Yuan Periods: Non-Marine Route Entry

由于近年所谓“海上丝路”热的影响,有关摩尼教入华路线的说法已出现非学术的倾向。本文从纯学术的角度,论证宋元时期福建滨海地域流行的明教,并非海路输入;而是由陆上丝绸之路传入的唐代摩尼教华化变异而来。作者认为,摩尼教之入传福建滨海地区,是古代文化间接传播的典型例子,有着独特的学术研究价值;探讨摩尼教文明与闽文化之交融,不失为历史人类学一个新颖的研究课题。

as the so-called 'marine silk road' has been heated in recent years, the discussion on the entering-china route of manichaeism is inclined to be non-academic. from a pure academic perspective, this article proves that the ming religion prevailing on the coastal area of fujian was not introduced through marine route during the song and yuan periods. this religion was in fact transformed from the tang manichaeism which was introduced through the land silk road. therefore, the introduction of manichaeism into the fujian coastal area shows the indirect diffusion between ancient cultures. the unique academic value of this case study is thus highlighted, i.e., the interaction of manichaeism and min (fujian) culture is a novel subject in the field of historical anthropology.
