佛教唱导与六朝宣佛小说的产生

Changdao in Buddhism and the Production of Storybooks that Preach Buddhism

作为一种重要的讲经仪式,唱导为实现其宗教目的借用了多种文学手法。正如佛教的转读、赞呗推动了诗歌的格律化一样,唱导直接催生了六朝宣佛小说。文人佛教徒创作宣佛小说时,一方面受唱导中的因缘譬喻之说的影响,在题材和情节上向佛经譬喻故事借鉴,另一方面又大量就近取譬,撰写中国化的故事来阐释佛经教义,表现出本土化的特征。

After going deeply into quantities of cultural background and authors’ Buddhist identity of storybooks that preach Buddhism,we find out that it is changdao in Buddhism that urged the production of these storybooks. On the one hand authors drank in material from story of changdao, on the other hand they created a lot of stories that happened in the Six Dynasties.
