唐诗中的天竺僧形象

Images of Indian Monks in Tang Poetry

唐诗中天竺僧形象的塑造,反映出唐代诗人对异族形象的记录、想象、执著、理想化等痕迹,存留了中印文化交流的文学事实。对天竺僧形象塑造所体现的,正是唐代诗人对印度文化所表现出的开放而自信的文化心态。这种他者形象的塑造,本质上源自于本土文化与异族文化遭遇中文化应变的结果。

The image of Indian monk in Tang poetry reflects the trails such as note-taking, imagination,inflexibility, idealization of the Alien races images, which preserve the facts of literature, cultural communication between China and India. The shaping of the image of Indian monk embodies the open and confident cultural attitude of the poets in the Tang Dynasty toward Indian culture. This image of the other, in essence, is the result of the cultural reaction in the contacts between their native culture and alien cultures.
