论八至九世纪的加洛林文艺复兴

Discussion on the Carolingian Renaissance in the Eighth and Ninth Century

西罗马帝国灭亡后,日耳曼人文化水平落后,基督教会及修道院不仅肩负起教化蛮族的重任,还保存了古希腊罗马典籍。为了传播基督教,教皇格列高利派了两支修士队伍,一支远赴大不列颠岛,一支前往西欧大陆进行传教。八世纪时,英格兰本笃会教徒包尼法修斯面对大陆基督教会的腐化和不完善,试图改革法兰克教会,并得到了法兰克国王丕平的支持。其子查理曼在位时,为了提高教士们的知识水平,开办宫廷学校,恢复了"七艺",统一了《圣经》文本及拉丁文,史称"加洛林文艺复兴",为之后的两次文艺复兴奠定了基础。

After the Western Roman Empire perished,Germans＇ culture lagged behind the Roman＇s,so the Christian church and the monastery not only teached barbarians,but preserved the ancient Greek and Roman classics.In order to spread Christianity,the pope Gregory sent two monks team.One traveled to Britain,the other to the continent.When faced with corruption and imperfection in Mainland Christian church,Benedict in England-Bao Ni Fa Huges tried to reform the Frank church and French king-Pepin supported him in the eighth century.In order to improve the monks＇ level of knowledge,his son Charlemagne founded the palace school,restored ＂Seven Art＂,unificated the Bible and Latin,later known as the Carolingian Renaissance.It laid the foundation for the two Renaissances later.
