僧伽大师与无支祁的传说

Legends on Master Seng Jia and Wu Zhixie

结合历史文献考释了有关僧伽大师的传说。僧伽大师的传说,自唐代开始、宋代尤盛,与文学结缘并与无支祁的神怪传说融为一体,并与西天取经的故事接轨;阐述了无支祁与《西游记》中孙悟空的源流关系,认为孙大圣的形象源于中国古代神猴,通过各种资料显示了孙悟空形象的衍变,是从无支祁狭窄单调的描写中,一步步扩大、衍变、充实,而更宏大神奇,个性突出的。

Historical documents are employed to investigate into the legends on Master Seng Jia, which, originated in the Tang Dynasty, came into its prime in the Song Dynasty, and was later integrated with the mythology on Wu Zhixie as well as the story of the Buddhist monk Xuan Zang. It holds that Monkey King depicted in A Journey to the West is prototyped from the ancient Chinese magic monkey Wu Zhixie. It proceeds to show the changes that the character Monkey King has undergone, i. e. from the monotonous and narrow image of Wu Zhixie to the magic and vivid King.
