摘要
辽西地区是辽代佛教发展最兴盛的区域之一,寺和塔作为常见的佛教建筑,广泛地分布于这片土地上。寺塔在传播佛教的同时,也作为统治者安抚民心、调节社会矛盾和巩固统治的工具。同时,寺塔在开发辽西走廊、推动文化发展、改变生活习俗和促进僧俗关系方面也发挥着重要的作用。
Western Liaoning, one of the places where Buddhism flourished in Liao dynasty, had temples and stupas, the common Buddhist architectures, all over its soil. Temples and stupas were not only im- plemented to spread Buddhism but also employed by the ruling class to pacify people, regulate the so- cial contradictions and consolidate governance. At the same time, the temples and stupas also played an important role in developing West Liaoning Corridor, promoting cultural development, changing life cus- tom and improving the relationship between Buddhist monks and seculars.
