《太平广记》宗教文化研究述评

Reviewing the Studies of Religious Culture in T'ai-p'ing Kuang-chi

《太平广记》宗教文化研究主要是本世纪前后新兴起来的新课题,也是极具学术价值的研究课题,目前该研究主要集中在神仙文化、果报思想、鬼怪文化和梦文化等方面。但这些研究缺乏系统性和深入性,宗教文化研究与小说文本研究脱节,文本内容研究与编纂意义研究脱节。

The studies of religious culture in T＇ai-p＇ing Kuang-chi are new task arising at about the beginning of this century and a field of great academic values. The studies so far cover fairy culture, Buddhism comeuppance, apparition culture and dream culture. But the studies are not systematic and not in-depth. The studies of religious culture are disjunctive with the studies of novel texts, and the studies of text contents disjunctive with the studies of the compilation purpose of the book.
