宋代新儒学形成中的佛教助力

The Formation of Song Dynasty's Neo Confucianism and the Side-effect of Buddhism in the Formation

纯洁队伍、恢复礼制、完善体系、确定方向,是宋代儒家复兴儒学的四大基本路径,而这四大基本路径的展开,与宋代儒家学者批判佛教密切关联着。宋代儒家学者正是在批判佛教过程中,使儒学的队伍和思想纯洁化、使儒学的礼制逐渐得到重建、使儒学的理论体系得到完善、使儒学的精神方向得到恢复。因此可以说,宋代新儒学的复兴与佛教有着密切的关联,而这种关联主要表现在佛教成为新儒学复兴的特殊助力。

The purification of the contingent of Confucian,the reinstatement of its ethical codes,the improvement of its ideological system,the choice of its orientation have always been four ways of the revival of Confucianism.Actually,these four ways have been closely related to Confucian scholars＇ criticism on Buddhism.During the course of criticizing Buddhism,Song scholars purify the ideology and the contingent of Confucian,gradually rebuild Confucian ethical codes,make Confucian ideological system complete,and finally restore the spiritual orientation of Confucianism.Thus it can be concluded that the revival of Song＇s Neo-Confucianism is closely connected to Buddhism.This connection is manifested in Buddhism＇s special side-effect in helping the rebirth of Song＇s New-Confucianism.
