南北朝平民教育的主要承担者——佛寺僧人

Buddhist monks:main providers of education for common people in Northern and Southern Dynasties

南北朝时期,由于平民讲学的风气被阻断,统治阶级又无心顾及下层百姓的文化教育问题,而在此时大兴的佛教从客观上担当了平民教育的任务。佛寺僧人在传播宗教教义时,也从文学、艺术等方面影响和教育了平民大众。

During Northern and Southern Dynasties, while the practice of common people giving lectures was suspended and the rulers didn＇t attend to the education of common people, Buddhists have virtually come to undertake the task of educating common people. As Buddhist monks disseminated religious views, they influenced and educated common people in literature, art and so on.
