试论“三朝高僧传”的选录标准

The Standards of the Excerption on the Monks in "The Biography Dignitary of Three Dynasty"

高僧传是为高僧立传,立传的编撰者对众多僧人进行选择,不可避免地需要一定的选录标准,选录标准的优良与否,关系到僧传的流传与影响。由对"三朝高僧传"①的选录标准分析,我们得出结论:自从释慧皎《梁传》始,确立了以功德为先、德行和学识为次、神异为辅的选录标准,《唐传》《宋传》在继承基础上根据佛教发展状况略有变化。

The Biography Dignitaries were written for the monks.The authors had some standards to select from many monks because the standards decided the Biography Dignitaries on the buzzing and influence.Through the research of the Biography Dignitary of Three Dynasty,we came to the conclusion： From the Biography Dignitary of Liang Dynasty,the standards had established,which is that the merits and virtues were primary,knowledge and miraculous were minor.The Biography Dignitary of Tang Dynasty and the Biography Dignitary of Song Dynasty had slight changes on the basis of inheritance according to the buddhist development.
