唐传奇中的“胡僧”形象与唐代的多元性文化

On the Image of Hu Monks in the Tang Legend and Multiple Cultural Features of the Tang Dynasty

唐代传奇小说中,出现了大量"胡僧"形象,这些形象一般都具有神异的妖术变化能力和鲜明的狐妖化等特点。胡僧之所以在唐代文学中数量众多且特点凸显,与中土人士特有的自我中心意识以及由此而产生的文化排外心理,唐代宗教发展中的佛道相争及胡僧在当时社会生活中的影响日益扩大密切相关。这也正是唐代文化开放性与多元性的体现。

There were many Hu monks in the Tang legend. Generally speaking, those Hu monks were witches. The emergence of Hu monks in the literature of the Tang dynasty was caused by self - consciousness of central plains, cultural discrimination and the competition between Buddhism and Daoism. The phenomenon reflected the openness and multiplicity of culture in the Tang dynasty.
