长江中游宗教美术系列著作述评

A Review on Religious Arts Books about the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River

由胡彬彬等学者所著的《长江中游佛教造像记》《长江中游道教造像记》《长江中游水陆画》及《长江中游写经宝卷》等书,收录了大量元明清时期流传于长江中游地区村落中的宗教文化实物资料,包含了造像记、水陆画及写经宝卷等内容。它们共同反映出,在明清时期的民间信仰中,以道教、佛教为主的长江流域宗教,已经完全和民俗文化融为一体。其研究意义,也正在逐步凸显出来。

The books,such as,The Buddhist Statue Carving in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River,The Taoist Statue Carving in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River,The Religious Paintings in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River,and The Religious Scriptures and Stories in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River produced by scholars led by HU Bin-bin embody enormous amounts of religious materials and documents widespread in the villages of Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River,including the record of statue carving,religious paintings and scriptures. They reflect that the major folk beliefs were Buddhism and Taoism in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River in Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty,and both were totally integrated into the folk culture.
